I created another virtual terminal, using alt f2 how do I reactivate it? Job control relates to jobs started from a shell; when you open another virtual terminal and log in, you have another shell running that does not, as far as I know, have access to the jobs run under the other shell. So as far as I know, you can't do this. But perhaps someone on freebsd-questions would have a suggestion about this.
