Jobs and & plus kill option

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

if I start mysql with the following, ./mysqld_safe & it becomes a 
background daemon, yes..? And, if I type jobs, it should show the 
running mysql, yes..? I don't get this, although mysql shows as running 
and I can connect. I also can't kill using, kill 'pid number'. Why do I 
get this.? Something fundamental I'm not understanding..? Cheers.
