pitchfork stop

• Usage: pitchfork stop [-a --all] [ID]…
• Aliases: kill

Sends a stop signal to a daemon

Uses a graceful shutdown strategy:

1. Send SIGTERM and wait up to ~3 seconds for the process to exit (fast 10ms checks initially, then 50ms)
2. If still running, send SIGKILL to force termination

Most processes will exit immediately after the first SIGTERM. The escalation ensures stubborn processes are eventually terminated while giving well-behaved processes time to clean up resources.

When using --all, daemons are stopped in reverse dependency order: dependents are stopped before the daemons they depend on.

Examples: pitchfork stop api Stop a single daemon pitchfork stop api worker Stop multiple daemons pitchfork stop --all Stop all running daemons in dependency order pitchfork kill api Same as 'stop' (alias)
