# bump(1)

send signal to tags run by pan

## NAME

bump - send signal to tags run by pan

## SYNOPSIS

**bump \[-1\] \[-s** *sig***\] \[***-a active-file***\] \[tags...\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**Bump will send a SIGINT signal to processes, given that each process has a** **corresponding tag in an active-file.  The active-file is the same one that is** **used by the pan to start the processes.**

**If the active file has multiple occurrences of a single tag name then only the** **first process will be signaled.  You may specify the tag name multiple times** **on the commandline if necessary.**

- **-1**

  **Send a SIGUSR1 signal.  By default a SIGINT will be sent.**

- **-a** *active\_file*

  **A file containing the tagnames, pids, and commands being run by a pan.  If this** **is not specified then the ZOO environment variable will be read for the name of** **the directory where the active file can be found.**

- **-s** *sig*

  **Used to specify a signal number to send.  By default a SIGINT will be sent.**

## ENVIRONMENT

- **ZOO**

  **If set, should name the directory where the active file can be found.** **This is ignored if** *-a* **is specified.**

## FILES

- **active**

  **Default name of active file if** *-a* **is not specified.  This is prefixed** **by the directory name found in the ZOO environment variable.**

## SEE ALSO

**Zoo tools - [pan(1)](/pan/1.md)**

## DIAGNOSTICS

**Exits zero, unless it cannot find the active file or if there were no tags** **listed on the commandline.**
