Android Question Stop 3rd party app with Root. But How ?

[koffie]

I would like to stop a third party app ( in this case a GPS app) every now and then. I read that it is only possible with a rooted device and/or a 'Kiosk app'.

After I rooted the device, and I know the packagename of the 3rd party app, what is the actual command or code to stop/kill the 3rd party app ?

Hope any of you can shed some light

Regards,

Stopping an Android app from console

Is it possible to stop an Android app from the console? Something like: adb stop com.my.app.package It would speed up our testing process so much. Right now we uninstall/install the app each time...
