  All right.

  Use 'ps' command and memorize your program's PID.  Then, you
can suspend the program by 'kill -STOP <PID>'.

  Just do 'kill -CONT <PID>' and you can unfreeze the program.
I understand that the program is not doing any terminal I/O,
its output being written to some file(s).  If you need terminal
I/O, you can use a free software called 'pty.'
