Why can't I logout?

If you try to logout, and you get the message:
	There are suspended jobs.
then you need to "kill" the jobs. To do this, at the unix prompt type jobs and see what is still running. You might see something like this:
	[1]  + Suspended (signal)     tin
The first number is the job number. If the stopped job number is 1, at the unix prompt type:
	% kill -HUP %1
Press <return> and then type "jobs" again to see if the job was killed. If the process still appears in the jobs listing, at the unix prompt type:
	% kill -KILL %1
Stopped jobs usually occur because you have typed Control-z. To restart stopped job number 1, type fg %1.
