'stop' 'continue' 'terminate' and 'kill' being actions you can do to a process on linux can be kinda confusing together. stop and continue, sure, it's like, pausing it and unpausing it, i assume. but kill and terminate kind of sound the same to me

@swiftyshq@voidwood.online I think sigterm gives the process a chance to shut itself down gracefully, like clicking the X at the top of a GUI window, while sigkill ends the process forcefully, but it's been a while since I read the documentation on that
