There's some inconsistency in the documentation here. In particular, "stop" is traditional terminology, see signal(3) under SIGTSTP, and termios(4). On the other hand, "suspend" has a (different) specific meaning in the context of signals. However, stty(1) calls the control character triggering the signal "susp" (presumably because the "stop" character ^S already existed when the job control stuff was added). Actually, I don't see why the systat(1) manual page even mentions this, since it takes does no special SIGTSTP or ^Z handling (it's the default behaviour for all applications).
