>Description:

When the 'jobs' command is used in /bin/sh, its output differs
depending if sh is an interactive vs. non-interactive shell.


>How-To-Repeat:

andre@bali:~>/bin/sh 
$ sleep 10 &
$ jobs
[1] 76401                     sleep 10
$ 

vs.

andre@bali:~>cat jobstest 
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10 &
jobs
andre@bali:~>./jobstest 
[1] 76411                     


In an interactive shell, name and args of the backgrounded command
are printed. These are missing in the case of the non-interactive shell.

>Fix:

Unknown. In /src/bin/sh/jobs.c,v 1.27.2.2 in line 337, the code

	out1str(ps->cmd);

normally outputs the command which doesn't work in non-interactive shells.
