Hi, Whenever some job is sent to the background and it finishes, it displays a message on the shell with the exit code. Something like this; > [1]- Done emacs > [2]+ Terminated gedit I understand that I can get the exit code with $? but is there some way I can get the associated message (Done/Terminated/Sementation Fault...) with the exit code? I want to use this in shell function/scripts to notify me whether any of my submitted jobs succeeded or failed, and if they failed then with what exit code. Thanks for any insights. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
