Sometimes we require a particular job to stop for a certain period
and start again.
Most of us familiar with the KILL command, But here is another cool
feature of the KILL command,
$ kill -STOP <pid>
$ kill -CONT <pid>
This 'll stop the given PID since it has been not restarted with the
command -CONT.
:-)
Ex:
$ kill -STOP 9952 (For Stop)
$ kill -CONT 9952 (For Continue)
