Bash Version: 3.0 Patch Level: 16 Release Status: release Description: when a background or stopped process was started by a function with arguments, then the arguments are not explicitly listed in the jobs output, but instead the jobs output shows the defined patterns, such as $@, $*, $1, $2 ... Repeat-By: Define a function with an argument, call it, ^Z the process, then list jobs. e.g. $ le() { less -E "$@" ; } $ le /etc/termcap [ CTRL-Z the 'less' job. ] [1]+ Stopped less -E "$@" $ jobs [1]+ Stopped less -E "$@" This should instead say [1]+ Stopped less -E /etc/termcap _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
