+## job-regist
+
+### Instruction
+
+Create a script, `job-regist.sh`, that will be able to monitor a specific background job.
+
+The script needs to track the status of the first jobs spawned by the current terminal and periodically save the status into a `job.log` file. It must append the new update without modifying the previous content.
+
+Each update needs to be appended to the file with the current format: `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss - <job status>`
+
+The script should stop running as soon as the job it is tracking ends.
+
+### Usage
+
+Here an example of how the script should behave:
+
+```console
+$ sleep 10 &
+$ sleep 12 &
+$ source job-regist.sh
+$ cat job.log
+2023-02-08 10:37:50 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:51 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:52 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:53 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:54 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:55 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:56 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:57 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:58 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+2023-02-08 10:37:59 - [1]+  Running                 sleep 10 &
+$
+```
