Hi All ,

Why "There are running jobs" , message comes when exiting using exit. And also I have not stared any job , while i was logged in this session as root.

-----
root@dbora01:/home/ac1 >exit
There are running jobs.
root@dbora01:/home/ac1 >
---

Thanks,

Hi rveri,

There may be jobs that are runing in the back ground. Do fg to see what the jobs are.

Hi,

Please check there indeed is a background job or not. To check,execute the following commands,

#jobs
#ps -t `tty`

Hi,
There are some jobs running in background. As already suggested you need to check what all jobs are running. You either wait for their completion or stop them by bringing back to foreground.

In future if you would like to run the job in background and exit then putting them in background with "nohup" option.

Hi,
It seems some process are running in back ground.

Here, if you type "exit", you are about to close your shell. So all process will get killed.

So, from next time, use nohup to call you process, such that it runs even you close your session [ie, shell].

Hello rveri,

There might be jobs running in background.A job is a process like a running program. So when you give 'exit' command its a warning given to you.as you are closing your shell. So all process will get killed.

You can check the current background jobs running by giving command "jobs". If you see any jobs running you can stop or suspend them if not required.

Warm Regards,
