When trying to exit from zsh you are warned about running or stopped jobs, whereas tcsh and bash behaviour is to only warn you about _stopped_ jobs, not _running_ jobs. I think this distinction is valid, as stopped jobs are typically likely to be stuff which writes to the terminal (e.g. a gdb session which you've suspended) whereas running jobs are often X programs which can carry on fine without the invoking shell (e.g. emacs window). Rather than having to remember to type stuff like "emacs &!" instead of "emacs &" every time, would it be possible to add a new option which makes zsh warn about stopped jobs but not running jobs on exit, like other shells?
