1.If one process is ready to excecute,but there is no space
in the main memory,then it is suspended.
2.when one process in main memory which was blocked & there
is another process ready to excecute,but waiting in
secondary memory,then the process in main memory is

Answer / zahraa fatma
1. swapping:the operating system needs to release sufficient main memory to bring in a process that is ready to execute.
2.other OS reason :the operating system may suspend a background or utility process or a process that is suspected of causing a problem.
3.interactive user request :a user may wish to suspend execution of a program for purposes of debugging or in connection with the use of a resource .
4.timing:a process may be executed periodically (e.g.,an accounting or system monitoring process)and may be suspended while waiting for the next time interval .
5. parent process request:a parent process may wish to suspend execution of a descendant to examine or modify the suspended process ,or to coordinate the activity of various descendants.

Answer / ramya
The process was placed in the suspended state by itself,or
OS , a parent process for the purpose of preventing its
execution. This wont be removed until the agent explicitly
orders the removal.
REASONS FOR PROCESS SUSPENSION:
1)PARENT PROCESS REQUEST:
A process may b suspended in order of parent process
request in order to modify the process
2)SWAPPING:
if the process is ready n there is no place in the main
memory the process gets suspended.
3)OTHER OS REASON:
when one process in main memory which was blocked & there
is another process ready to excecute,but waiting in
secondary memory,then the process in main memory is
suspended.
