suspension of long process

[Willem Siemelink]

I have got a process that takes days to complete.  However, the System
Administration does not want me to run it in daytime.  So now I am looking for
a way to stop a process and later continue it.  We have HP UX 7.0 running on
the workstations here.
I can do this by hand by typing ^Z on the running process followed by 'bg' and
'fg' but that is only when I'm on the keyboard at the very moment.  Obviously
that isn't good enough.  I've had a suggestion using 'kill' but I couldn't
figure it out.  ('kill -3 <pid> gives a core-dump but I can't get it started
again.)

Any (clear) suggestion would be much appreciated.  If responses are posted
here or if you mail me at <wgsiemel at praxis.cs.ruu.nl> I'll be able to do
something with them.  (I mean to say that I am not going to track responses in
different groups).  If I happened to break some local curtesy I'm sorry, I
didn't mean to.

Have a day, Willem.
