resume the suspended background job
Hi,
I was running a job in background and because of some immediate work to be done on my machine, I stopped the background job. The real problem comes when I try to restart the same job in the background. To stop I used
stop PID
and to resume the same I use
bg PID
when I do this the system says "bg: No such job". Even the job PID is there with stat 'T'. The job has been started from one terminal and has been stopped in another terminal but now I want to restart with some other terminal and it does not work with the PID.
Does anyone come across this kind of problem. Please suggest the solution.
Best
Baloo

Hiya,
Recently I've run a few scripts in the foreground, but have realised later they should of been better nohup'd and placed in the background. I understand how to change a foreground job into a background one, but how would put the job into the nohup state?

Hi everybody,
I am wondering if there is any tool or website out there which can track who is viewing my resume. It is very frustrating when you send your CV or Cover Letter and you receive no feedback from the company, you don't even know if they have checked it out.

faxq(1) mgetty+sendfax manual faxq(1)
NAME
faxq - display fax jobs queued by faxspool(1)
SYNOPSIS
faxq [-osa] [-v] [-r] [-P<job><prio>]
DESCRIPTION
Display the fax queue set up by faxspool(1).
faxq looks for all the jobs queued by faxspool(1) to /var/spool/fax/outgoing/*. For each job in the queue, faxq displays some status infor-
mations about it. If no options are specified, one line per queued fax job is printed, displaying the job number, sender, number of pages
and target fax number.
OPTIONS
-v Tells faxq to print a more verbose report for each job (multiple lines).
-o Show old jobs, already sent but still in the queue directory, too.
-s Show suspended jobs (stopped because of too many fatal errors during sending). You can restart those jobs with faxq -r
-a Show all jobs (active, old, suspended).
-r Restart suspended jobs. Every suspended job in the queue (that you have write permissions for) will be requeued. Use faxrm to
delete jobs that you do not want to be sent!
-P <job> <prio>
Change the priority of fax job <job> to <prio>. Example: "faxq -P F000247 3".
BUGS
faxq doesn't handle time scheduling yet.
