for suspend try (in any shell)
    sigp [ proc_name | -uid xxx.xxx ]   -c 120027  
for continue try
    sigp [ proc_name | -uid xxx.xxx ]   -c 12002b 

I know this doesn't EXACTLY duplicate the effect of the dmcmds 
"ds" and "dc", but it does put the process in a wait state.

BTW I got the numbers from "/sys/ins/fault.ins.c"
