[Level099Techs] Lesson 2: Bash Jobs & Signals - Bringing Jobs Back To The Command Line
🕑 Added 2021-05-14 15:51:33 +0000 UTCThe second lesson in our bash jobs series! I hope we could teach you something new, or brush up on your skills! In this video, Ryan talks about bash jobs, and how you can multitask with them.

- Jobs Man Page: https://ss64.com/bash/jobs.html
Also, note that we are going to consider the feedback we get. Yes, we want ideas, but we are still thinking about how the basis of the videos should be. We don't want it to be a "so you've installed Linux" ground-up series, but we don't want it to be too advanced either.
Hope you enjoyed!

Cool. I'd be interested to see a video on UFW and/or iptables. It's pretty base level knowledge, and has all sorts of applications and easy pitfalls, and I suck at it.
For a future topic, perhaps a primer on readline? I imagine most people only know about arrow keys for single-step history and cursor movement. Learning about things like history search, larger cursor movements, cut/paste, etc., definite levels up one's productivity. And it's used by other programs so it doesn't just apply to the bash shell. (The mysql command for example also uses readline)
These are excellent. Even as someone who has used these tools for a really long time it's nice to hear them clearly and concisely explained

Not to be a nitpick, but...😃... If you want to foreground a job, say job number 1, you can use the %1 instead of fg 1 on the commandline.
