suspend
The built-in command suspend will suspend the current shell if possible, as if you’d typed ^Z to the shell itself. For instance, if you’ve run the su command and want to return to your original shell:
$ whoami smith $ su -l Password: ******* # whoami root # suspend [1]+ Stopped su $ whoami smith
