💖 OVERLAY-STOP(8) 💖

okay bestie, so this is overlay-stop from section 8 of the manual — the big-girl system administration section, iykyk 👑

✨ NAME ✨

overlay-stop — stop a subhost. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-trick pony and the trick is murder (affectionate) 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

overlay-stop conf

one argument, no drama, no flags to remember. we love a low-maintenance queen 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, overlay-stop is an adminstration utility for terminating a subhost. not like, a gentle "hey bestie we need to talk" — we're going in for the termination. 😭

here's the sequence, and it's very important:

  • it will stop its START services in reverse order ✨ (reverse order, bestie — that's not a vibe, that's the whole point)
  • then it will forcefully kill the reaper process if needed 💅

that's the whole opera. graceful-ish exit, and then the reaper catches hands if it's still hanging around. no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • no options. literally none. do not go looking for them, they are not there. she takes exactly one argument and she's built different 🧚

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

slay, here's the one and only way to call her:

overlay-stop tiny.conf

that's it. that's the entire group chat. <italic>tiny.conf</italic> gets stopped, the START services unwrap in reverse, and if the reaper's being stubborn — 🔥🔥🔥

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

like any icon, she doesn't work alone in this universe. go check her siblings:

  • overlay-boot
  • overlay-go
lowkey a warning even though the page didn't write one, but fr fr: the reaper gets forcefully killed. that part is not a cute nickname for "asked politely". 🫶

okay and for the sign-off: this page is dated 2026-07-12, and the source told me nothing else — so that's the tea, bestie. go stop a subhost, you absolute main character 👑💖✨🎀🦋🌈

periodt. 💅
