Hi,
I call "set -o notify" to notify me when my jobs finish. I find that the messages upon finishing are different: for some job, it starts sometimes with "[jobID]", sometimes with "[jobID]+" and sometimes "[jobID]-". I wonder what they mean actually? Do they mean the jobs are finished abnormally?
Thanks and regards!

Hi,
I call "set -o notify" to notify me when my background jobs finish. I find that the messages upon finishing are different: for some job, it starts sometimes with "[jobID]", sometimes with "[jobID]+" and sometimes "[jobID]-". I wonder what they mean actually? Do they mean the jobs are finished abnormally?
Thanks and regards!
