Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 19
Release Status: release
Description:
The "jobs" command doesn't consistently expand function arguments
Repeat-By:
For example:
/bin/bash --login --noprofile
bash-4.4$ nap() { sleep "$@" ; }
bash-4.4$ nap 1234
^Z
[1]+ Stopped sleep "$@"
bash-4.4$ bg
[1]+ sleep "$@" &
bash-4.4$ nap 2345 &
[2] 9666
bash-4.4$ jobs
[1]- Running sleep "$@" &
[2]+ Running nap 2345 &
bash-4.4$
The problem is the '"$@"' in the "jobs" output, which doesn't provide
any useful information.
This is on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
I've see the same problem with bash 5.0-alpha (built from source).
I'd prefer to see "sleep 1234" in the output of "jobs", though
"nap 1234" would also be ok.
