Howdy people!
I've just run into a problem, and can't imagine how it could be fixed.
It's probably present in earlier versions too.
I've been trying to stress my home-net with some concurrent pings, and
suddenly..
[iceq] /usr/src 514> ping ancient >/dev/null &
[47] 24995
[iceq] /usr/src 514> ping ancient >/dev/null &
[48] 24996
[iceq] /usr/src 514> ping ancient >/dev/null &
zsh: job table full
[iceq] /usr/src 514> ping ancient >/dev/null &
zsh: job table full
Heh, cool, limits? Hmm.. it's right, I shouldn't have been doing
this... So let's get rid of them... I used to fg, and ctrl-c
out of it, but:
[iceq] /usr/src 514> fg
fg: no current job
What? Now, how am I supposed to kill 'em?
[iceq] /usr/src 515> killall ping
zsh: job table full
WHAT? :) Hmm... Okay, I don't have a free slot to run killall,
but fg shouldn't have been tricking me?
[iceq] /usr/src 516> _
