3. Suspending a process in Linux
1. Some time we need to suspend/stop a process in linux we can achieve this using two options
1. Kill command :
1. kill -STOP <pid> : This will suspend the process
2. kill -CONT <pid> : This will revive and continue the suspended process
2. Keyboard shortcut (for process which we have started in foreground and want the terminal back)
1. Suppose you are running a process in foreground and you want it to suspend and get the
terminal back or if you want to send the current running process to background and get the
terminal back you can use this option.
1. Press ctrz+z, this will suspend the process and give you the terminal prompt back form
terminal you can type ‘bg’ this will send the suspended process in background and it will
continue running and if suppose you want to bring it back you can type ‘fg’ it will bring back
the process to foreground.
