rune restart / stop
Bounce a service or stop it without deleting the spec.
rune restart
Scales the service to 0, waits for the drain to complete, then scales back to its previous scale. By default, prints a TTY-aware progress view with two phases (Draining → Starting) and a final cumulative duration. In non-TTY contexts (CI, redirected output), one line is printed per state transition with no duplicates.
rune restart api
rune restart api -d # detach — exit after the request is sent
rune restart api --timeout=15m| Flag | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
-n, --namespace | from context | Service namespace. |
-d, --detach | false | Don't wait for the restart to complete (fire-and-forget). |
--timeout | 10m | Wait timeout per phase (ignored with -d). |
Use after rotating a secret, updating a configmap, or anything else that requires a fresh process. Mounted secrets/configs do not hot-reload.
rune stop
Scales to 0 but keeps the spec. Restore later with rune scale <name> N or rune cast.
rune stop api
rune stop api -d # detach| Flag | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
-n, --namespace | from context | Service namespace. |
-d, --detach | false | Don't wait for the service to fully stop. |

To remove the spec entirely, use rune delete.
