NAME¶
docker-pause - Pause all processes within a container
SYNOPSIS¶
docker pause CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
docker pause command uses the cgroups freezer to suspend all
processes in a container. Traditionally when suspending a process the
SIGSTOP signal is used, which is observable by the process being
suspended. With the cgroups freezer the process is unaware, and unable to
capture, that it is being suspended, and subsequently resumed.
