CLI tool to "freeze" heavy apps instead of closing them to save CPU/RAM (Python + Linux)

Linux #Python #CLI

Hello! ๐Ÿ‘‹
When you have many browser tabs or heavy apps running, CPU/RAM usage can become a problem. Sometimes you need to free resources without closing everything.
Cryo is a small Linux CLI tool that finds a process and all its child processes and sends a stop signal to pause them instantly. It temporarily โ€œfreezesโ€ apps to free CPU and RAM without killing them.
The project is still evolving, and I plan to improve it by adding new features and Improvement architect etc..
Feedback from people familiar with Linux process management is very welcome.
