pueue-pause: Pause a running task.
$ pueue pause ${task_id}
try on your machine

The command "pueue pause ${task_id}" is used to pause a specific task in Pueue, which is a command-line task management tool for Linux. Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "pueue" is the command itself. It is followed by subcommands like "pause", "start", "status", etc., which allow you to control the tasks in the queue.
  • "pause" is the subcommand used to pause a task. When you run this command, it will place the specified task on hold, temporarily stopping its execution.
  • "${task_id}" is a placeholder for the ID of the task you want to pause. You need to replace it with the actual task ID you want to pause. Task IDs are assigned by Pueue to each task when it is added to the queue.

So, when you run "pueue pause ${task_id}", Pueue will identify the task with the provided ID and pause it, halting its execution until you resume it later using the "pueue start ${task_id}" command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
