"jobs" shows you a list of active processes that you have started from the current terminal session.
The Finder is not a terminal session, so you will never, ever see a Finder process using "jobs". You want the `ps` (process status) for all active processes. There's a mountain of options - `ps -cxu` is fairly useful.
Another handy process monitor is `top`.
The 'jobs' command would have been a perfect place for an easter egg, but 'jobs -s' and 'jobs -steve' didn't return anything :rolleyes:
