} What more? `jobs -p | ...' is not working

If you want "jobs" to do something reliable, you have to set the
MONITOR option.  Zsh by default does not provide job control in a
non-interactive shell.

% zsh -fc 'sleep 3 & fg'
zsh:fg:1: no job control in this shell.
% zsh -fc 'setopt monitor; sleep 3 & fg'

[1]  + running    sleep 3
% zsh -fc 'sleep 3 & jobs -p | sed s/run/RUN/'
% zsh -o monitor -fc 'sleep 3 & jobs -p | s/run/RUN/'
