I'm nitpicking, but is there a reason why you use the numeric signal number in Linux? On my machine "kill -SIGSTOP" works as expected, and I don't remember a time when you couldn't use signal names like that.

Neither "kill -SIGSTOP" nor "kill -17" is portable. (In fact 17 is SIGCHLD on x86 Linux…) You should use "kill -STOP".

    The blog post still uses "kill -17" and "kill -19".
