Hi!

You could be talking about two different things, I'm not sure. If you mean pause
a running program from a command line then you use:

Ctrl-Z

If you use Ctrl-C, it quits the program. Once you've paused a program from the
command line, you type:

fg

Which brings it back to the foreground.

If you're debugging a program in gdb, then you use:

Ctrl-C

to pause execution at the current step. You can then execute any other gdb
commands. To resume debug execution you type:

c

or

cont

which starts debug execution going again.

For more info, type:

gdb

at the command line.  Then type:

help

for a listing of topics and:

help <desired-topic>

For help on a desired topic.

HTH:

thx,
Dave S.
