Summary

  • Clarify in the CLI --help text and README that --killSignal must be passed to forever start (or when launching), where it is stored with the process.
  • Note that a later forever stop / restart uses that saved signal, and that passing --killSignal to forever stop has no effect.

Fixes #1146

Test plan

  • Run forever --help and confirm the updated --killSignal wording appears
  • Spot-check the README options section for the same clarification

Document that --killSignal must be set when starting a process so later stop/restart use that signal. Passing it to forever stop has no effect.

Fixes foreversd#1146
