rune restart / stop

rune restart

Scales the service to 0, waits, then scales back to its previous scale.

rune restart api
rune restart api --no-wait
rune restart api --timeout=15m

Flag	Default	Notes
-n, --namespace	from context	Service namespace.
--wait	true	Block until restart completes.
--no-wait	false	Detach.
--timeout	10m	Wait timeout.

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 --no-wait

Flag	Default	Notes
-n, --namespace	from context	Service namespace.
--wait	true	Block until fully stopped.
--no-wait	false	Detach.
--timeout	5m	Wait timeout.

To remove the spec entirely, use rune delete.
