Return to a particular job in the jobs list If I have the following jobs running in a shell -> % jobs -l [1] 83664 suspended nvim [2] 84330 suspended python [3] 84344 suspended python [4] 84376 suspended nvim [5] - 84701 suspended python [6] + 84715 suspended python How can i return to the nth job, suppose I want to return to job 4, or job 1, how can I do that without having to kill all those which are before it?

To return to job 4, run:


fg %4


The command `fg` tells the shell to move job `%4` to the foreground. For more information, run `help fg` at the command prompt.

When you want to suspend the job you are working on, run `bg`. For more information, run `help bg` at the command prompt.

For more detail than you'd likely want to know, see the section in `man bash` entitled `JOB CONTROL`.
