How to send SIGTSTP, SIGCONt signals to a script scheduled using cron
Hi all,
I had scheduled a script using cron and got pid of it when it is running as it is running for a long time.The script is somewhat like
cmd
sleep 10
cmd2
sleep 20
..
This is scheduled using cron now i want to send SIGTSTP signal to it to suspend it
and SIGCONT to resume it but these signals are not working please help urgently. kill -SIGTSTP pid
Thanks

Re: How to send SIGTSTP,SIGCONt signals to a script scheduled using cron
hi
the step i told u earlier will definatly work
pid=ps ax | grep urcommand | cut -b 2-6 | grep -v tty
u have to include more with tty like pty etc
if any script is scheduled using cron, the script names does appears in ps ax output, and u can gets pid on this basis.
once u got pid u can easily send sigals to it.
please let me know if u have ne further query
