What is a suspended process?

You can temporarily suspend execution of a process and then continue its execution later.

• To suspend a foreground process, type control-Z.
• To suspend a background process, you must know its job number. For example, to suspend background job 2, type:

          % stop %2

  See `Finding your processes' to learn how to determine the job numbers of your background processes.
