Suspend and Resume processes at will

This module rides on the amazing ntsuspend to provide a cross platform way to suspend and resume child processes in NodeJs.

This is occasioned by the fact that Windows does not support ``SIGSTOP` and `SIGCONT` signals.

Install via `yarn add process-suspend` and have fun.


`javascript

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const sProc = require("process-suspend");

// start your our funky process...
const ourFunkyProcess = spawn("run.cmd");

// then bind to the ourFunkyProcess
sProc.bind(ourFunkyProcess);

// somewhere else in the code, suspend our funky process
ourFunkyProcess.suspend();

// do whatever else matters to you...

// and then resume our funky process
ourFunkyProcess.resume();


`

NOTE: You also get a boolean `isSuspended` added to the process so you can always check the state using `process.isSuspended`.

Don't Like Binding

There's a school of thought that says you should never tamper with default objects. Coolio.

Simply then suspend and resume as follows.

`javascript

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const {suspend, resume} = require("process-suspend");

// start your our funky process...
const ourFunkyProcess = spawn("run.cmd");

// somewhere else in the code, suspend our funky process
suspend(ourFunkyProcess);

// do whatever else matters to you...

// and then resume our funky process
resume(ourFunkyProcess);

`


NOTE: Please use `spawn` and not `exec`` with this module.
