suspend Command Examples

Suspend the execution of the current shell. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-suspend.

• Suspend the current shell (useful for when you are in nested shells like su):

{{bash}} <Enter> suspend

• Continue from suspension if suspend was used in a non-nested shell (run this in a separate terminal):

pkill -CONT bash

• Force suspension even if this would lock you out of the system:

suspend -f
