Resuming Suspended Jobs in zsh | Generated by AI

Home 2025.11

To resume a suspended job (like your bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental command, which was likely paused with Ctrl+Z) in zsh within Ghostty, follow these steps in the same terminal session:

  1. List all background/suspended jobs to confirm it’s there: 
    jobs

    This will show something like [1]+ Suspended bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental.

  2. Resume it in the foreground (it’ll take over your terminal again): 
    fg
    • If you have multiple jobs, specify the one you want with fg %1 (replacing 1 with the job number from the jobs output).

If you want to run it in the background instead (so you can use the terminal for other things while it serves), use bg %1 (again, with the job number).

Once resumed, Jekyll should pick up where it left off, assuming no major interruptions. If the process seems stuck or errors out, you might need to kill it with kill %1 and restart.
