awww-kill(1)                General Commands Manual               awww-kill(1)

NAME
       awww-kill

SYNOPSIS
       awww kill

OPTIONS
       -a,--all
           Send this command to all active awww-daemon namespaces.

       -n,--namespace <namespace>
           Which wayland namespace to send this command to.

           You can specify this option multiple times to send commands to
           multiple namespaces at once: awww kill -n <namespace1> -n
           <namespace 2>.

           This affects the name of the awww-daemon socket we will use to
           communicate with. Specifically, our socket name is
           ${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}-awww-daemon.<specified namespace>.socket.

           Some compositors can have several different wallpapers per output.
           This allows you to differentiate between them. Most users will
           probably not have to set anything in this option.

       -h, --help
           Print help (see a summary with '-h')

DESCRIPTION
       Kills the daemon. This is the recommended way of doing it, since we
       wait to make sure the socket file was deleted, thus confirming the
       daemon exited.

       Note that sending SIGTERM to the daemon would work correctly, but
       sending SIGKILL would make daemon leave behind the socket file. This is
       not a big problem; it would only cause a warning to be printed next
       time the daemon is initialized.
