What is the key combination to send a SIGSTOP signal on terminal?


It is not Ctrl+Z. That is for SIGTSTP. Also, stty -a shows ^S as the combination but it doesn't seem to work.


Solution

  • There is no key combination to send SIGSTOP.

    Control-S tells the terminal driver to suspend output, but does not send a signal to the process. Control-Q resumes output.
