The steps you want to follow look ok. The difference between jobs and processes is that a job is specific to the shell that you are running. For example, if you run a background job in a shell and check, say, the jobs command, then you get the jobs list starting from job #1. If you start another shell (inside this one), run another background job and run jobs again, you will get a list again starting from job #1.

This is not true of processes. A pid is a pid no matter which shell you look at it from.

So a job is specific to the shell, while a process runs at the system (OS) level.

faxrm

faxrm(1)						       mgetty+sendfax manual							  faxrm(1)

NAME

       faxrm - remove fax jobs queued by faxspool(1)

SYNOPSIS

       faxrm [-i] [job-ids...]

DESCRIPTION

       Remove job(s) from the fax queue set up by faxspool(1).

       faxrm  removes queued fax jobs.	Call with a list of job-IDs to remove specific jobs.  Call with no job IDs to be asked interactively about
       all jobs you own (if run by root, all jobs).  For job-id, use the strings returned by faxq(1) (e.g. F000015), without the  ``/JOB''  exten-
       tion.

       If  you	are not the owner of the fax job (as per the 'user xyz' statement inside the JOB file), you are not allowed to remove the fax job.
       Only root is permitted to remove another user's faxes.

       If the job is locked (most likely because sendfax(8) is active sending it), faxrm doesn't attempt to remove it.	Instead, it prints a warn-
       ing message on stderr and goes on to the next job.

EXAMPLES

       faxrm F000005 F000033

OPTIONS

       -i     (interactive mode) Tells faxrm to ask for confirmation before removing the job (UNIMPLEMENTED).

BUGS

       faxrm doesn't return diagnostic exit codes yet.
