Bash on WSL or Cygwin: suspend and resume Windows processes by name and optionally command line part

wslsuspendresumeps.sh

# Add this to your Cygwin or WSL Ubuntu .bashrc
# Args:
#   - process name
#   - optional: commandline (use '%' as wildcards)
# Example: suspendps name commandline
#   - suspendps notepad.exe %mytextfile.txt%
#   - resumeps notepad.exe
# Note: pssuspend64.exe must be installed and available (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pssuspend)
getwin32processid() {
  # WSL / Windows 10 suitable version without spawning a shell
  wmic.exe /interactive:off process where "caption like '$1' and commandline like '%$2%'" get processid /FORMAT:list | grep -oP '(?<=ProcessId=)[0-9]+'
  # Old version using PowerShell (works in Cygwin, but messes up terminal in Win 10 WSL)
  # echo $(powershell.exe "Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter \"Name = '$1' and CommandLine like '$2'\" | Select-Object -Expand ProcessId" | tr -c -d '0123456789\n')
}
