suspend a process
I have a process running with a PID. I would like to suspend the process for some time so that other processes get the more CPU time.

I know I can use CTRL-Z if I have the terminal I launched the process from. However, I dont have the terminal (launched the job using nohup)

Many thanks in advance.
J.

Send it a SIGSTOP to suspend it. Then send it SIGCONT to make it resume.

'kill -stop %job'
or
'kill -stop $pid'

'kill -cont %job' - will restart it.
