\NOTE: Your last process does NOT necessarily have to be the highest numbered

Elmar was talking about the highest JOB NUMBER, not process id:

	% jobs -l
	[1]    29479 Stopped              nn
	[2]  - 29617 Stopped              vi pipo
	[3]  + 29622 Stopped              cat > foobar

	 ^
	 job number
