hi,
There is no clear cut mechanism for stopping, resuming and suspending a Thread as these methods can leave your thread objects in an inconsistent state but below I am giving the link that has the code to stop, resume and suspend threads. Hope it will be useful to you.

terminate: in run(), simply 'break' out of the loop that you probably have when the condition is met, so that control flows out naturally.

suspend: examine a flag and do a wait()
synchronized(flag) {
while(suspended)
wait();
}

revive:
if(!suspended)
notifyAll();

of course, you should synchronize on a flag to communicate with the thread to make it "terminate" or suspend or revive.
