SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Closes BotoolAgent IDE and all related processes (Electron and Viewer) to reclaim system resources and prevent orphan processes from lingering after development sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gracefully terminates all Electron-related processes and their subcomponents.
  • Cleans up Viewer/Next.js residuals to prevent port or lock issues on restart.
  • Provides a clear status message and a safe fallback to force termination if needed.

Quick Start

Shut down BotoolAgent IDE and terminate all related processes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I terminate Electron processes and related Viewer instances to free system resources?

To terminate Electron processes and related Viewer instances, the tool locates Electron-related processes with broad matching and performs a graceful pkill to free system resources.

What is the best way to clear residual processes from a development environment before a restart?

The best way to clear residual processes is to execute a complete shutdown of the IDE, which cleans up Viewer and Next.js residuals to prevent port or lock issues on restart.

Why does my IDE leave orphan processes lingering after closing the application window?

Orphan processes linger because standard window closures may fail to terminate all subcomponents, requiring a forceful pkill to completely stop development environments and clear them.

Does this process termination method provide a safe fallback if graceful shutdown fails?

Yes, the process termination method provides a clear status message and enforces a safe fallback to force termination if the initial graceful pkill does not succeed.

Can I use this command-line approach to clean up port and lock issues caused by Next.js components?

Yes, you can use this command-line approach to clean up Viewer and Next.js residuals, which specifically prevents port or lock issues when restarting the workstation.

How does pkill work when broad matching Electron processes for a complete workstation reset?

Pkill works by broadly matching Electron-related processes and their subcomponents, performing a graceful termination first, then enforcing termination if necessary while reporting the outcome.
