Here is an example from yesterday.  Job 11174 is the transaction logs.
The others are OS jobs I ran manually from bconsole.

Running Jobs:
 JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
 11172 Full    Unix_crank-va-3.2009-03-19_17.36.24 is running
 11173 Full    Unix_crank-va-4.2009-03-19_17.39.25 is running
 11174 Full    DatabaseArchives_crank-va-3.2009-03-19_17.40.27 is
waiting for higher priority jobs to finish
