Unix Tip #4554- August 30, 2025
SUSPEND YOURSELF
Do you hate always having to type: /bin/su root
Do you wish you only had to do it once?
Well, here is a way to "suspend" root and bring it back.
Use the "suspend" and "fg" commands to switch
from root to login ID, and back to root:
foo 15% /bin/su
Password:
foo 1#
foo 2# suspend
stopped
foo 16% fg
/bin/su
foo 3#
And that's it.....
Set and alias in root's .cshrc or .profile to shorten
the word "suspend" if that is too much to type.
alias sus 'suspend'
