lynxpm stop

📖 Synopsis

lynxpm stop [--namespace <ns>] [--json] <id|name|ns:*|*>...

Description

Stops the specified processes. You can provide either the full ID, a short ID prefix (if unique), or the process name (if unique). A target that was already stopped renders as ! Already stopped: … and is recorded as status: "noop" in --json output — distinct from an actual stop.

Bulk selectors:

• <ns>:* — every process in that namespace. Quote the glob so the shell does not expand it: lynxpm stop 'prod:*'.
• * or *:* — every managed process.
• --namespace <ns> — same as <ns>:* but no shell quoting needed. Cannot be combined with positional targets.

⚙️ Flags

Flag	Type	Default	Description
--namespace <ns>	string	-	Stop every process in this namespace. Mutually exclusive with positional targets.
--json	boolean	false	Emit a machine-readable {results, summary} batch report on stdout.
--no-list	boolean	false	Skip the process list printed after the action. The stopped instances are otherwise highlighted (▸) in the list for easy scanning.
-h, --help	-	-	Show help message.

🚀 Examples

Stop a process by name:

lynxpm stop my-app

Stop multiple processes by ID:

lynxpm stop 1234 5678

Stop every process in the prod namespace:

lynxpm stop 'prod:*'           # selector form (quote the glob)
lynxpm stop --namespace prod   # flag form (script-friendly)

Stop many and capture per-target status:

lynxpm stop api worker-1 worker-2 --json | jq '.results[] | {id, status}'

Exit codes

• 0 — every target succeeded or was already stopped.
• non-zero — at least one target failed; the reason is in the per-target line or in .results[].error when running with --json.
