child processess

Hi,
suppose i want to display the child processess that are running at the background.how do u do it.
ps -ef shows both parent and child processess i need to see only the child processess.

cheers.

'man jobs'

if i give man jobs i am getting the answer as "command not found"

cheers.

what shell are you in?
background processes are handled differently for different shells.
do 'man ksh' and search for 'jobs'.
