<div>
type............<br />
jobs<br />
this will return a list of your current running processes.<br />
do..........<br />
fg %1<br />
this will bring process number one to the foreground, now<br />
type control-z this will pause it.<br />
to start it running again do........<br />
bg %1 this will start it off again in the background.<br />
This works the same as the &quot;c&quot; shell.<br />

Find the process id first.....<br />
ps -ef | grep &quot;process_name&quot;<br />
<br />
then, to pause it<br />
kill -STOP process_id<br />
<br />
to restart it.<br />
kill -CONT process_id<br />
<br />
You have to be root to manipulate processes you don't own.<br />

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
