Suspending, resuming, and ending a process

Once a process is created, it can be suspended, resumed, or ended. A process is temporarily halted by sending it the suspend message. The process can be restarted later by sending it the resume message. A process is stopped permanently, that is, placed in a state from which it cannot be resumed, when it is sent the terminate message.
