PsSuspend
PsSuspend lets you suspend processes on the local or a remote system, which is desirable in cases where a process is consuming a resource (e.g. network, CPU or disk) that you want to allow different processes to use. Rather than kill the process that's consuming the resource, suspending permits you to let it continue operation at some later point in time.
Installation
Copy PsSuspend onto your executable path and type "pssuspend" with command-line options defined below.
Usage
Running PsSuspend with a process ID directs it to suspend the process of that ID on the local computer. If you specify a process name PsSuspend will suspend all processes that have that name. Specify the -r switch to resume suspended processes.
