Hi Sivakumar,
When we know the answer it would be good to post it , As
some of them might not able to find the answers and this
site would help them to get their issues addressed. Here is
how this goes
stop <pid> -- is the command to stop , Below example
explains this better
Ex Prog. to print 10000 numbers
#!/bin/sh
x=1
while [ $x -le 10000 ]
do
echo "No is. $x"
x=`expr $x + 1`
done
If you wish to stop this , Login to the different a/c get
the pid of the prog running as this will take some time to
execute you find sufficient time to do this
Login to other session on the same directory -- give ps -a
and check the prog. running stop it using below
ps -a ---> is the command used to check all the processes
running
stop 17872 (17872 is the pid of the program -- This will
stop the prog. as below
o/p :
No is. 8128
No is. 8129
[1] + Stopped (SIGSTOP) ./prnNo1

Answer / c sivakumar. kumarsiva46@yaho
First of all i like to appreciate all the three Answerers
for theire initivative to have answered the question.
However the answers are not complete. In this first two
cases the command does not stop the process but kills it,
which means to restart the process we have to re-execute
the script. In the 3rd case the command stops only that
process which is activelly running in our terminal this
command can not be used to stop a process which is running
elsewhere. I know the answer to above question. But i
would like you guys to research over this and find out.
Please contact me for further queries.
