Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers suspend a *background* running job Post 302483381 by uiop44 on Sunday 26th of December 2010 05:07:25 PM

Thanks.

This works great. But the new status is not immediately reflected in the jobs -l output.

Can I get the status to update with another signal?

Certain events seem to trigger an update in the status, e.g., bg'ing another job, or a pipe.

Considering a pipe triggers the status update, this is the lame hack I came up with show the updated status immediately:

Code:
lamehack(){ kill -18 %$1; :|: ;}

NAME
pthread_exc_get_status_np - (Macro) Obtains a system-defined error status from a DECthreads status exception object. LIBRARY
DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so) SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread_exception.h> int pthread_exc_get_status_np( EXCEPTION *exception, unsigned long *code); STANDARDS
None PARAMETERS
DECthreads status exception object whose status code is obtained. Receives the system-specific status code associated with the specified DECthreads status exception object. DESCRIPTION
This routine obtains and returns the system-specific status value from the DECthreads status exception object specified in the exception argument. This value must have already been associated with the exception object using the pthread_exc_set_status_np(3) routine. In a program that uses DECthreads status exceptions, use this routine within a CATCH, CATCH_ALL, or FINALLY code block to obtain the status code value associated with a caught exception. Note that any exception objects set to the same status value are considered equivalent by DECthreads. RETURN VALUES
If an error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error. If the routine's exception object argu- ment is a DECthreads status exception, it sets the code argument and return zero (0). Possible return values are as follows: Successful completion. The exception argument is not a valid DECthreads status exception object. ERRORS
