Linux: Suspend process
Yes, you can suspend a process in Linux to stop it from using the CPU:
1. Suspend (SIGSTOP) and Resume (SIGCONT)
- Find the process ID (PID):
pidof process_name - Suspend the process:
kill -STOP <PID> - Resume the process:
kill -CONT <PID>
2. Suspend Using killall (by name)
killall -STOP process_name
killall -CONT process_name
3. Suspend a Foreground Process (Ctrl+Z)
If the process is running in the foreground, press Ctrl+Z to suspend it, then use bg or fg to resume.
Would you like an automatic way to suspend and resume processes at intervals?
