Package: bash Version: 4.1-3 Severity: wishlist Hello,
I suggest enabling the checkjobs option by default. This option was introduced in bash 4.0 and causes bash to print a message if there are background jobs before exiting an interactive shell. This is very handy if you forgot about background jobs. >From the manual page: "If set, Bash lists the status of any stopped and running jobs before exiting an interactive shell. If any jobs are running, this causes the exit to be deferred until a second exit is attempted without an intervening command. The shell always postpones exiting if any jobs are stopped." An implementation suggestion is to add the following two lines to /etc/skel/.bashrc: # list the status of any background jobs before exiting an interactive shell. shopt -s checkjobs -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5.9 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii dash 0.5.5.1-6 POSIX-compliant shell ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-4 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:1.2-2 programmable completion for the ba Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
