Hi!

How do I temporarily suspend/stop an external process (compilation/
grep) from within Emacs and later continue it?

Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw

I think the OP wanted to suspend/resume a process run by Emacs, not
Emacs itself.

To Nordlöw: look up the functions `stop-process', `continue-process',
and `signal-process'.
