💅 VIEW-OS(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the view-os manual page for umshutdown, and no this is not boring I promise, it's literally the "ok everyone go home" button for your whole virtual machine 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

umshutdown — shutdown a umview/kmview machine

like. it shuts the machine down. that's the gig. she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

umshutdown [ time ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional lil argument and she's ready to go ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this command shuts down the current umview/kmview virtual machine. not some other machine, not your friend's machine, the one you're standing in right now. main character energy only 💖

When you call it with no arguments at all, it does this whole two-step goodbye:

  1. it sends a TERM signal to all the processes running in the current virtual machine 🌈
  2. it waits 30 seconds ⏳ (yes, a whole thirty, she's being polite)
  3. and then it sends a KILL signal to all the processes that are still surviving 😭💀

so the processes get a gentle "hey bestie, wrap it up" first, and if they're still lingering after thirty seconds they get the ✨ full send ✨. rude? maybe. necessary? absolutely.

Now the optional argument, time, is literally just the number of seconds between the TERM signal and the KILL signal. So if you want less patience than thirty seconds, that's your girl. You pick the countdown, you control the drama ⏰

ngl this is the part where you should double check what you're about to KILL, because KILL is not a vibe check, it does not ask questions, and those processes are not coming back 🙈
