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.
At this point, the root aliases aren't going to be expanded; they're pretty much just historic.
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...
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.
