Only zsh and bosh decorate the notification like `jobs' does; others including Sun and SCO ksh88 print only a string describing the signal. I think we're talking about two different categories of notifications though; the one sent when a foreground job is killed is useful when the shell is non-interactive too, the other not so much. I don't know why the standard doesn't cover it, but if you plan to follow zsh in this I don't think that's a good idea. It's ugly and confusing. -- Oğuz
