#SUSPENDPROCESS Built-In Function

Use #SUSPENDPROCESS to suspend a process that you started. It invokes the

SUSPENDPROCESS operating system procedure.

\node-name

is the name of the system where the process resides.

$process-name

is the name of the process.

cpu,pin

indicates the CPU number and process number for the process you want to

suspend.

Result

#SUSPENDPROCESS returns a nonzero value if successful; otherwise, it returns

zero.

Considerations

•

You can omit the process specification ($process-name or cpu,pin) if a current

default process exists. The default process is set by #NEWPROCESS or #PAUSE

and clears when that process terminates. You can examine the default process

with the #PROCESS built-in function.

•

Use #ACTIVATEPROCESS to terminate the suspension.

#SUSPENDPROCESS [ [\node-name.]{$process-name | cpu,pin} ]
