try on your machine
The given command is a command-line command to stop a specific daemon process with the specified name. Here's a breakdown of the command:
daemon
: This is the name of the command or program being invoked. It is likely a system utility that manages daemons (background processes) on a Unix-like operating system.--name="${name}"
: This is an option passed to thedaemon
command. It specifies the name of the daemon process to be stopped. The value is assigned through the${name}
variable, which potentially holds the desired daemon name. The${name}
variable is typically provided in the context where the command is being used.--stop
: This is another option passed to thedaemon
command. It instructs the daemon to stop or terminate.
Overall, the command is asking the daemon
program to locate the daemon process with the specified name (${name}
) and stop it.
