How to get the exit status of a bash process sent to the backgroud in RHEL?
Issue
- Once a process is sent to run in background, how can the exit status of the job be verified?
- For example, a job is sent to the background and checked as follows:
$ sleep 10 &
[1] 22696
$ jobs
[1]+ Running sleep 10 &
$ jobs
[1]+ Done sleep 10
$
How can the exit status of the PID 22696 checked?
