bash seems to think that a pipeline has finished when the first member of it has, instead of when all of them have. When you do something like pipe output to a pager and then control-Z back to bash, bash will consider the job done, despite the fact that the pager is still running. Repeat-By: cat /etc/motd | more suspend more. notice how bash reports that the job is done, and won't show it with 'jobs'. do a ps to see that the more process is still there. --- "I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world."
