In a program I am writing, I want to be able to catch SIGTSTP
but if I do that, the process will not get suspended. How can
I do what the shell would do under normal situation, suspend the
process? Is sigsuspend the way to go? 

How to I get my program to restart or do I need to concern
myself with this problem?



Thanks
