During the upgrade if we want to pause it (e.g. to get some work done), what is the best way to do that?  I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04.

E.g. I ran "bitcoind -daemon"  (I wish I could leave that daemon running and have bitcoin-qt reference it....)

Is it safe to do a "bitcoind stop" in the middle of the upgrade?  Will I lose any work already done?

Or should I stop the process in mid-stride (kill -stop ) and kill -cont it later?
