solaris equivalent of kill -16 in linux

i am running a process in solaris 9(console) . i know its pid . To halt the process i have given "kill -16 pidvalue" . This halts the process . Later when i gave the same command (ie . kill -16 pidvalue )it resumes (continues)the process .

While giving the same command ( ie . kill -16 pidvalue ) in Linux the process corresponding to the pid value gets permanantly killed ( ie the process becomes nonexistant ) , so next time when i am giving the command (kill -16 pidvalue) in Linux i get an error message on console which says " process is nonexistant " .

So can u suggest the appropriate numeric value or alphabet which should follow kill to halt the process in Linux. In a way i am looking for "solaris equivalent of kill -16 in linux ".
