- In your program where you may want to pause
...
import easy_pause_resume as epr
...
def loop():
...
while something:
...
epr.wait_if_paused()
...- If you want to pause your program when it is running, execute
kill -SIGUSR1 <pid-of-your-program>, and it will be blocked whenepr.wait_if_paused()is executed in the future.kill -SIGUSR2 <pid>will bring it back to running where it paused. Without any signals, easy_pause_resume does nothing and won't block. - You can customize signals also
from easy_pause_resume import EasyPauseResume
# using default signals: SIGUSR1 as pause and SIGUSR2 as resume
epr = EasyPauseResume()
epr.wait_if_paused()
# using custom signals: SIGHUP as pause and SIGINT as resume
epr = EasyPauseResume(sig_pause='SIGHUP', sig_resume='SIGINT')
epr.wait_if_paused()
# output logs
epr = EasyPauseResume(debug=True)
epr.wait_if_paused()
