Thx Ari, there is no any error msg, but I found the problem.... actually I was trying to use this command in nano program but now by default this command is blocked in this programm.... if u wanna use control + z to pause in nano program we have to use nano -z namaFile.exemplo. Anyway thx for helping :)
