Hi, Is there a way to redirect "jobs" output? While this works on other bourne-like shells like zsh or bash, it doesn't on /bin/sh. > $ sleep 100 & > $ sleep 100 & > $ jobs -p > 1760 > 1761 > $ jobs -p | cat > $ My code looks like this: > for j in $jobs > do > ( > blah; blah; blah; > ) & > done and I'd like to limit the number of jobs my script could create. Thanks, Nikos
