How to resume a suspended shell? $ help suspend suspend: suspend [-f] Suspend shell execution. Suspend the execution of this shell until it receives a SIGCONT signal. How should I send a SIGCONT signal to a shell suspended by `suspend` in a gnome terminal tab?

## Send `SIGCONT`

The only way to resume the suspended shell is to send the `SIGCONT` signal, presumably from another shell. You'll need to know the PID (process ID) of the shell.


kill -cont $shellpid


If you don't know the PID already, try this:


ps x | grep bash


For example, when I suspended my shell, I saw this with `ps x | grep bash`:


6147 pts/14 S+ 0:00 grep --color bash
6172 pts/14 Ss 0:01 /bin/bash
15085 pts/0 Ss+ 0:00 /bin/bash
15121 pts/12 Ts+ 0:01 /bin/bash


Look at that third column. The shell you want is the one with the `T`, and that one has a PID (first column) of 15121. Of course the PID in your case will differ; this was just an example. Once you find the PID (let's say it _is_ 15121), then run:


kill -cont 15121
