# 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.
|
|
|
|
See the [cgroups freezer documentation]
|
|
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt) for
|
|
further details.
