I think " [Megállítva]" is better here or maybe "befagyasztva" could be 
considered which means frozen that probably does not collide with other 
usages like suspend. Your latest suggestion of "szüneteltetve", 
"szüneteltetés" is also good and less confusing than "leállítva" and 
even more distinct from it then "megállítva" so that may be even better.

I have never ever heard anyone actually using that word other than in 
translated manuals. Probably for a reason...

How about "megragadás/a" for a translation of grab? But probably it sounds 
more horrible than your suggestion which is not so bad IMO. The problem 
with all of these is that they are not obvious to someone not 
knowledgeable about the concept but that may be true for the English term 
too.
