[chef] Re: chef client will not stop

[Maciej Pasternacki < >]

`sv kill` just sends a signal to process, and `runsv` will autorestart it. Use `sv down` or `sv stop` if you want the process to stay down.

`sv kill` is harmful in general, as it will send SIGKILL (equivalent of `kill -9`), not giving a child process a chance to clean up.
