Hi, I'm observing an inconsistent behaviour between: jobs and echo "$(jobs)" Here is the short example: $ rpm -qv dash dash-0.5.8-1.fc21.i686 $ /bin/dash $ sleep 1000 & $ jobs [1] + Running sleep 1000 $ echo "$(jobs)" $ echo `jobs` $ jobs 2>/dev/null [1] + Running sleep 1000 $ -- Have a nice day, Damian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
