Pause a program which is using too much CPU

Sometimes your battery is running low and you need to pause a program without quitting it or force-quitting it, so that you can preserve battery but not lose the job that the program is doing. To do this,  Step 1. open a terminal Step 2. type:  ps ax | grep -i  "<program name>" so for example, if it's photoshop you need to pause, replace "<program name>" with "photoshop" Step 3. Next to the results on the far left you'll see a number, usually with 5 digits. E.g. 12345. Step 4. Type:  kill -STOP 12345 where 12345 are the numbers obtained in Step 2-3. Step 5.
