Problem:

As my past as a windows user condemns me, I tend to press “PAUSE” key to pause the execution of regular bash/prompt programs, this techinique works just fine on windows, however on linux it dosen’t. Now, how do i pause a program for a while, let’s say WGET without killing the application?

Solution:

freeze:

kill -stop <PID>

unfreeze:

kill -cont <PID>
