How do I trigger ctrl+z via a script?

I want to suspend a process via a shell script, how would I do this? I know I can hit ctrl+z when sitting at the terminal but this is no good for me in this situation!

"I want to suspend a process via a shell script, how would I do this?"

Use the kill command. See:

man kill
