Can the system monitor be stopped or paused?

Yes, a system monitor script can be stopped or paused. Here are a couple of methods:

Stopping the Monitor

If your script is running in the terminal, you can stop it by pressing Ctrl+C. This sends an interrupt signal to the script, terminating its execution.

Pausing the Monitor

To pause a script, you can use the kill command with the SIGSTOP signal. First, find the process ID (PID) of your script using:

ps aux | grep system_monitor.sh

Then, pause it with:

kill -SIGSTOP <PID>

To resume it, use:

kill -SIGCONT <PID>

Note

Make sure to replace <PID> with the actual process ID of your script.
