If I start a program in the background mode (like ./prog &) and exit the
shell (Ctrl+D), I see the following message:

"There are stopped jobs. A second attempt to exit will enforce their
termination."

If I exit again, immediately, it'll quit the shell. However, the above
message made me think that my background job will be terminated as well!

However, using 'ps' o/p I could verify that the program was running even
after exit and was re-parented to init (?), I think.

Why do we show that message and what does it really mean? I mean the
background job is _still_ running, then why the message? Or am I missing
something obvious?

thanks,
