BARMAN-TERMINATE-PROCESS(1)

💖 BARMAN-TERMINATE-PROCESS(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is a page from the Barman manual, and today's topic is the sub-commands situation. specifically the one that goes ✨ poof ✨ at a running process.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

barman-terminate-process — Barman Sub-Commands 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

terminate-process SERVER_NAME TASK_NAME

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The barman terminate-process command terminates an active Barman subprocess on a specified server. the target process gets ID'd by its task name — like, for example, backup or receive-wal. iykyk.

🚨 okay so here's the tea, and it's important: only processes that are running on the server level can be terminated. so global processes like cron or config-update? yeah no, this command can not terminate those. they're giving untouchable main character energy and honestly? respect.

You can also use the output of barman list-processes to display all active processes for a given server and figure out which tasks are actually terminable. more deets about that command live over at barman list-processes <#commands-barman-list-processes> 🌈

---

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• SERVER_NAME — the name of the server where the subprocess is running. 🖥️
• TASK_NAME — the task name that identifies the subprocess you wanna terminate. 🎯
