'stop' would be closest to what it currently does. It stops and it

But it shares the first letter with 'squash'.
Personally, I'd rather use "pause", but that is taken as well.
Other suggestions:
wait
yield
rest
timeout
Perhaps stating the obvious, but:
wait - best suggestion so far, seeing as we can't use "stop"
yield - might sound intuitive to a Ruby programmer; but for others
it's probably not so obvious as "yield" has a number of meanings in
normal English similar to "give up", "give over" etc
rest - not quite as good as "wait"; machines wait for humans, but the
never need to rest
timeout - sounds like an error condition, so not really appropriate
Sorry for participating in the painting. Just thought that "wait" was
good enough to merit some positive feedback.
Cheers,
Wincent
