You can overload PS1 with any code you want. It will run every time a

Good tip, thank you.
The answer of curse is PROMPT_COMMAND.

I actually meant what I said. PROMPT_COMMAND is also a possibility but:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export PS1='$$:`date +%s` \$ '
8376:1173442662 $
also works. Here is something more useful:
export PS1='\u:[`jobs -p|wc -l`/`jobs -s|wc -l`] > '
you can use a conditional and terminal control codes to colorize the
nonzero stopped jobs for more effect (and ring a bell too since you're
at it).
