Can a process be frozen temporarily in linux?
- by Pal Szasz
I was wondering if there is a way to freeze any process for a certain amount of time?
What I mean is that: is it possible for one application (probably running as root) to pause the execution of another already running process (any process, both GUI and command line) and then resume it later? In other words I don't want certain processes to be scheduled by the linux scheduler for a certain amount of time.
