### ~Toggles Google Chrome Process 'State' between Active|Stopped (SIGSTOP|SIGCONT)

if [ $(ps -o state $(pgrep -o Chrome) | sed -n 2,2p) = T ]; then 
  echo "PAUSED, continue" 
  kill -CONT $(pgrep -o Chrome); 
else 
  echo "UP, suspend..." 
  kill -STOP $(pgrep -o Chrome); 
fi

# Note: Using Mac OS 'Automator' it's easy to create a ToggleChrome.app 
#       Steps:
#          1. Start Automator, new document 'Application'
#          2. Add Action 'Run Shell Script'
#          3. Paste the content of this file
#          4. Save as Application ToggleChrome.app
#        Very convenient to e.g. add to Mac OS Dock... =)
