@stlouisubntu – use the ‘jobs’ command to list suspended jobs. Then you can either resume jobs (‘fg’ or ‘bg’), or kill them. E.g. to kill the first job do ‘kill %1′.

Don’t forget Ctrl+K, which deletes all text to the right of the cursor.

Thanks for this post. One problem I frequently have is that when I type “exit” to leave and close out a terminal session after I have used either CTRL-C or CTRL-Z (I don’t recall which), I get the error message, “There are stopped jobs.” I then type exit again and it exits / closes out my terminal session. This tells me that I am improperly cancelling / terminating / stopping processes. I want to correct this and end / exit processes properly but do not know what to do differently. Any advice, recommendations, or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks for CTRL-J, I didn’t know that. When I want use keyboard without arrow buttons, I was always pissed that enter button is so far away.
Little mistake, CTRL+U delete all text from left side of the cursor.

Cheers
