SYD-PAUSE(1)                General Commands Manual               SYD-PAUSE(1)

NAME
       syd-pause - Block forever (until signaled), optionally ignoring
       selected signals

SYNOPSIS
       syd-pause [ -t ] [ -h ] [ -a ] [ -q ] [ -b ] [ -i ] [ -p signals ]

DESCRIPTION
       syd-pause is a tiny, long-lived process that simply waits until it is
       terminated by a signal. By default, it honors all standard termination
       signals; options allow you to ignore specific signals so the process
       continues running when they are delivered. This is useful as a minimal
       placeholder, supervisor target, or synchronization sentinel in service
       pipelines and sandboxes.

OPTIONS

       --help       Display help.
       -t           Ignore SIGTERM.
       -h           Ignore SIGHUP.
       -a           Ignore SIGALRM.
       -q           Ignore SIGQUIT.
       -b           Ignore SIGABRT.
       -i           Ignore SIGINT.
       -p signals   Ignore the comma-separated list of signal numbers given in
                    signals (e.g. -p 1,2,3,15).
                    Numbers must be valid per signal(7). This flag can be
                    combined with the short flags above.


EXIT STATUS
       On normal termination by a signal, syd-pause exits 0. On errors syd-
       pause exits with the corresponding errno(3) value.
