Oracle on Windows

Special thanks to the Oracle-l list for this tip:

There is a trick to pause an import on Oracle 9i on windows.
You go the command window

From the left window corner you choose Edit/Mark, mark an area (like if you would be copying it), and leave marked (white).

The import process will pause until you end the process, ending the copy or pressing the enter key.

This may also be done the old-fashioned way ie. the unix way.

-S suspend execution
-Q resume execution

This may pre-date unix of course, but that is my earliest familiarity with it.
