-------- Ok suppose you set a process running in the background, (any sort of process script,compiled programme etc) is there any way to do the following: 1:Halt the process (as if it had gone to sleep) 2:Alter its priority Ok suppose you set a process running in the backgroud, (any sort of Ok here goes, Suppose you set a process running in the background, (any sort of process script, compiled programme etc ) does any one know how to do the following 1:Halt the programme and restart it at a later time from where it left off.( Effectivly swap it out then swap it back in on some command.) 2:Alter its priority, either up or down. The first could be achived by trapping a signal in the programme and going to sleep until another signal was trapped BUT can it be done with out making any changes to the code?
