How to send SIGTSTP, SIGCONt signals to a script scheduled using cron

[Saurabh Agarwal]

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

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
