Hi,
While in the process of compiling a large image I had to do some cpu/mem
intensive stuff on the build machine. Usually I would just cancel the
build, letting the running tasks finish and then start the build again
when done. This works well but the downside is that unnecessary log data
will show and that the metadata will have to be parsed again when you
start over.
So I thought why not add a 'pause mode' to bitbake ?
Best,
Lukas

What stops you from stopping bitbake with CTRL+Z and getting it back
in foreground with fg after you finished the other things you want to
do.
