Use the 'fg' command to bring them back into the foreground. You can then
'control-C' them, let them finish, or whatever. When you '^Z' you just
'stop' the job, it's still present, just not running.

Use the 'kill %1' for job number 1, 'kill %2' for number 2, etc. The number
is given when you '^Z'. Example:

 sleep 15
                       <----Control-Z here
 [1]+  Stopped                 sleep 15

So  the '1' in the square brackets is the job number.

3) Enter the 'jobs' command to see what jobs you have left lying around.
