Here is a PR that adds support for a stop message (msg.stop) which will kill suspend restarting the process. it also makes the msg.start message trigger a restart as per existing docs. first contribution so please feel free to give guidance on whatever .. …

Hi. So how does this differ to the existing msg.kill option to stop the process ?

different in that it sets a flag so that the process will not respawn via the redo timer loop.(cleared by a subsequent msg.start) I didn't want to mess w/ existing kill behavior and this seemed in keeping with separate messages for start,kill as opposed to some combined behavior.
