runit:tldr:24ce1
This command is used to send a continue signal to a process identified by the runit_pid variable. Here is an explanation of each component:
-
kill
: This is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems used to send signals to processes. In this case, it is used to send a continue signal. -
--CONT
: This is the argument given to the kill command to specify the signal to be sent. The continue signal (SIGCONT) is used to resume a process that has been halted or paused. -
${runit_pid}
: This is a variable that holds the process ID (PID) of the runit process. The actual value would be substituted in place of${runit_pid}
when the command is executed.
Overall, the command kill --CONT ${runit_pid}
would send a continue signal to the process identified by the runit_pid variable, allowing it to resume execution if it was previously paused or halted.
