[root@ ]# logout
There are stopped jobs.
[root@ ]#

So I need to logout twice to actually logout.

When will this happen?

linux bash

  1. You're being prevented from logging out because you've suspended a task during your console session, probably using CTRL-Z. This task is still active, but suspended in the background.

    The fg command will bring the task back to the foreground and allow you to kill it, or figure out what's going on.

    When the shell still has jobs stopped in the background. Use jobs to see the current jobs, and fg %<n> to bring a job to the foreground so that you can end it.
