Urgent problem with SIGCONT and Fedora 4 :(

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I stop a process with kill -s SIGSTOP, but when I try to restart it with kill -s SIGCONT it do nothing.
I use Fedora Core 4.

Thank you a lot

Hello Nene,

This is interesting... it worked ok for me. SIGSTOP is a signal that is universally applicable as well- whatever process you are running it against can't be caught or ignored. I wonder if it's the continue that is the problem.

Did you get a
[1]+ Stopped
message after you ran the SIGSTOP? If you logged out of your shell before running the SIGCONT, that would be one way to potentially kill it off..
