[comp.unix.questions] ctl-Z for a process

pcb@gator.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (03/28/90)

Can I suspend a job that was started in the background from a
different terminal?

I would like to ctl-Z it somehow???

If you own the process, or are root,

"kill -STOP pid"

To continue,
"kill -CONT pid"
