Hello all. Is ther a way to suspend a task from cli? Lets say i have started a databaseupdate or resource demanding cron job on server SRV_1 Can i log on to it via SSH from workstation WS_1 and somehow suspend it temporarily? And then restart it again. I do NOT want to kill it completely but simply send a ^Z to it

kill -STOP <pid> will suspend it, and kill -CONT <pid> will set it running again
