    You can use the kill() system call to send a signal to a process, sending SIGSTOP and SIGCONT. If you want some in-depth information about signals you can start with the man pages signal(7) (i.e. "man 7 signal") and kill(2), and the book Linux System Programming by Robert Love is also excellent.
