jobs shows nothing even with processes running in the background

I ran this script that runs several processes in parallel

./train-eyecnn.sh 9 0.1 0 "key_relative_gaze" | tee "../tmp/9_0.1_0.txt" & 
./train-eyecnn.sh 9 0 0 "key_relative_gaze" | tee "../tmp/9_0_0.txt" &
./train-eyecnn.sh 9 0.1 1 "key_relative_gaze" | tee "../tmp/9_0.1_1.txt" &
./train-eyecnn.sh 9 0 1 "key_relative_gaze" | tee "../tmp/9_0_1.txt" &

wait
echo "All complete"

However, typing jobs shows nothing. I have checked that the monitor setting is set to on. How can I fix this?

AFAIK when you use `&` in a *script*, you're putting processes into the background of the script's shell, rather than that of your current interactive shell.

@steeldriver sorry but i am very new to this. Do you mean its not possible to terminate the process then?

You can terminate them using their PID rather than their job number - either directly, like `kill 27324`, or indirectly using `pkill` for example

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
