Hi Radek,
I think the tricky part is determining what is "the VM" to Avocado, and not
passing SIGSTOP
to that process. Have you tried, instead, to send a SIGCONT to that process
only? Depending
on how your test system looks like (and it's running) I'd think something like:
$ avocado run ...
<CTRL+Z>
$ killal -CONT qemu
Should do the trick. Let me know how if this works and if you find it
acceptable.
Cheers,
- Cleber.
