stop command

The stop command stops the service with the provided name and any other service that depends on it, in the correct order.

Usage

user@host:~$ pebble stop --help

Usage:  pebble stop [stop-OPTIONS] <service>... The stop command stops the service with the provided name andany other service that depends on it, in the correct order. [stop command options]      --no-wait      Do not wait for the operation to finish but just print the                     change id.

How it works

When stopping a service, Pebble sends SIGTERM to the service’s process group, and waits up to 5 seconds. If the command hasn’t exited within that time window, Pebble sends SIGKILL to the service’s process group and waits up to 5 more seconds. If the command exits within that 10-second time window, the stop is considered successful, otherwise pebble stop will exit with an error, regardless of the on-failure value.

Examples

To stop specific services, use pebble stop followed by one or more service names. The following example stops one service named “srv1”:

pebble stop srv1
