okay bestie, sit down, we're learning lw-ctl today and honestly? it's giving tiny but mighty ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lw-ctl — send commands to a running loadwatch 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lw-ctl file command

like. that's it. two little args and you're the boss of a whole running process 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so lw-ctl slides into a running loadwatch's DMs and sends it commands 📨. you can tell loadwatch to enter one of three states: RUN, STOP, or WATCH. main character energy only.

the parameters are:

• file — the UNIX domain socket that loadwatch is listening to 🔌
• command — one of:
  • RUN — allow the child process to run regardless of system load 🔥 like, load who? never heard of her.
  • STOP — suspend the child process regardless of system load ✋ absolutely not, we're napping.
  • WATCH — return to normal mode, where the system load determines if the program is allowed to run 👀 back to vibes-based decision making.
