Hi,

I use mencoder under cygwin (on XP) and I have a little bit
annoying problem.
Sometimes I need to temporarily pause the run of mencoder.
If I press Ctrl-S it
stops the mencoder (as I know this disables mencoder to
write to stdout so this
pauses mencoder indirectly), but this is a manual
interaction. I'd like to stop
it from a shell script. I tried "kill -STOP
PID_of_mencoder", but it does
nothing. With ps I can see that it is stopped, but it
continues writing to the
console. I waited 2 minutes, but it was still running
(writes to the screen and
CPU is on 100%). I also tried "kill - TSTP PID"
with the same result...

Can anybody help me how can I pause mencoder gracefully (and
release again) from
a script? What am I missing???

Thanks in advance!

TT
