Hi,
I call "set -o notify" to notify me when my background jobs finish. I find that the messages upon finishing are different: for some job, it starts sometimes with "[jobID]", sometimes with "[jobID]+" and sometimes "[jobID]-". I wonder what they mean actually? Do they mean the jobs are finished abnormally?
Thanks and regards!
Here's from the bash man page under JOB CONTROL
In output pertaining to jobs (e.g., the output of the jobs command), the current job is always flagged with a +, and the previous job with a -. A single % (with no accompanying job specification) also refers to the current job.
