Operating Systems HP-UX Any Way to pause/unpause system execution in HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23? Post 302320637 by Perderabo on Thursday 28th of May 2009 12:43:07 PM

If you're using LVM, you can do "vgchange -Q" to quiesce a volume group. But this doesn't mean that you get self-consistent snapshot. Suppose that a transaction is is progress... you might quiesce the volume group in the middle of the transaction. This objection appies to the pausing technique too.

NAME
pause - suspend process until signal SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h> int pause(void); DESCRIPTION
The pause() function suspends the calling process until it receives a signal. The signal must be one that is not currently set to be ignored by the calling process. If the signal causes termination of the calling process, pause() does not return. If the signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function (see signal(3C)), the calling process resumes execution from the point of suspension. RETURN VALUES
Since pause() suspends thread execution indefinitely unless interrupted by a signal, there is no successful completion return value. If interrupted, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The pause() function will fail if: EINTR A signal is caught by the calling process and control is returned from the signal-catching function. ATTRIBUTES
