You can use the ps command and search for the stopped process. Check the ps man page for your system to get the correct status flag for a stopped process. For example on our linux system (ps):

Quote:
PROCESS STATE CODES
D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
R runnable (on run queue)
S sleeping
T traced or stopped
Z a defunct ("zombie") process

For BSD formats and when the "stat" keyword is used, additional letters may be displayed:

W has no resident pages
< high-priority process
N low-priority task
L has pages locked into memory (for real-time and custom IO)
