if you have "killall" installed on your player, you could remotely invoke killall -INT player to stop the player, and killall -HUP bash to restart it.


Have now:-)

However, last time I checked I found a thread where everyone was discussing how to stop the player, but the general consensus of opinion was that you couldn't as it would immediately re-spawn.

I'm pleased to have now got the solution. Thanks.
