We running a Pyramid 98xe with OSx4.0. How or can one, as a superuser, stop and then re-start processes? I know the owner can perform this by ^Z and then fg. Scott Overby Agrigenetics Company Madison, WI

I know the owner can perform this by ^Z and > then fg. Two methods for stopping, first get the process number, then type stop <proc-number> from csh, or from any shell kill -STOP <proc-number> e.g. % stop 22328 or % kill -STOP 22328 starting, however is a little tricky. In theory kill -CONT <proc-number> e.g. % kill -CONT 22328 should do the trick, however when I tried it my process got stuck waiting for output. Looks like you might need to make sure that 'stty tostop' is switched off. -- ______ JANET :jonathan@uk.ac.keele.cs Jonathan Knight, / BITNET:jonathan%cs.kl.ac.uk@ukacrl Department of Computer Science / _ __ other :jonathan@cs.keele.ac.uk University of Keele, Keele, (_/ (_) / / UUCP :...!ukc!kl-cs!jonathan Staffordshire.
