% (percent) built-in command for tcsh: Move jobs to the foreground or background

Format

% [job] [&]

Description

%, is a synonym for the fg built-in command.
  • % (percent) without arguments will bring the current job to the foreground.
  • % specified with a job number attempts to bring that particular job to the foreground.
  • % job & will move the specified job to the background. This syntax works the same as the bg built-in command. If no job is specified, the current job is moved to the background.
    Note: Jobs that are current will have a + next to the status column in jobs command output. See Jobs.
