Description Hans Erickson 2005-03-18 00:20:20 UTC
It would be very useful if, in addition to the aliases already 
in /root/.bashrc, the following one were added: 
 
alias stop='kill -STOP' 
 
This makes it easy to stop processes.  Especially useful is 'stop $$' when in 
a 'su' shell.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-18 05:33:28 UTC
At this point, the root aliases aren't going to be expanded; they're pretty much
just historic.

Comment 2 Hans Erickson 2005-03-18 15:49:38 UTC
Ah, well if a one line change in a script file is too much to ask, I guess it just re-affirms the commonly 
held belief that there is no way for outsiders to contribute to the Fedora project...

Comment 3 Hans Erickson 2005-03-18 17:27:40 UTC
Sorry for the earlier flippant response.  I guess 'suspend' is a builtin bash 
command, so I should lobby the bash people to make 'stop' a similar command.  
Sorry to waste your time.
