[comp.lang.ada] suspending/awakening a process

jduarte@ternes.ICS.UCI.EDU (J o s e D u a r t e) (04/24/91)

Hi Ada Folks,

	This is more of a UNIX-related question than an Ada language
question: When I suspend a process in UNIX using ^Z or the "suspend"
command from within a C shell script, how can I issue a "SIGCONT"
signal to it from within another process? Is this possible w/o
having to type "fg" at the shell prompt?

	I'm implementing a "busy-wait" type process that I want to
get suspended until it's needed so that it won't burn CPU time. Comments
and suggestions are welcome.


Thanks Again to all,
Jose' Duarte
