. To display the state of any background jobs that you are currently running use the job command. For example: jobs [1] + Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - Running xterm -g 90x55 . This displays the job number, its state and the command associated with this job. To display the process number use the -l option. For example: jobs -l [1] + 3584 Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - 3587 Running xterm -g 90x55 .

. Authors: A.A. Suchkov , V.A. Marakov . Journal: Pis'ma Astron. Zh., 1976, v.2, p.38-385. Metallisity function of globular clusters in the Galaxy is constructed. It is found to have three "humps". This leads to a conclusion that there were three metal enrichment outbursts during the period of globular cluster formation. The constraints on the nature of metal sourses and on the early evolution of Galaxy are considered.

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
