When using a Linux desktop under Termux (I use Andronix), I want to suspend the desktop, e.g. when not in use during night, without killing or closing it.
The reason is that some foreground processes like a Ubuntu web browser like Firefox or LibreOffice still eat CPU time in the background. I tried using killall -SIGSTOP proot but to no avail.
Normally that is a command to freeze Linux processes.
Is there a way that Termux can freeze processes within its environment ?
