which command is used to stop a running process in unix?

Answer Posted / c sivakumar. kumarsiva46@yaho

First of all i like to appreciate all the three Answerers
for theire initivative to have answered the question.
However the answers are not complete. In this first two
cases the command does not stop the process but kills it,
which means to restart the process we have to re-execute
the script. In the 3rd case the command stops only that
process which is activelly running in our terminal this
command can not be used to stop a process which is running
elsewhere. I know the answer to above question. But i
would like you guys to research over this and find out.
Please contact me for further queries.
