The Suspend command allows you to “quiesce” a running campaign and save the state for later restart with the matching command,
Resume. All flowcharts currently running an output process complete data export activities and the flowchart is then saved as a paused flowchart. This causes the least amount of work to be lost and preserves data integrity of output files. If flowcharts must be stopped immediately, issue a
Save command followed by
Stop.
The -f parameter allows you to force a suspend. Once suspended, the flowchart is written to the listener as a suspended flowchart.
