🧠Smart Stop🧠


### 
Smart Stop is a program that lets you stop WSL by just typing 'smart-stop' in the terminal!


---

**What it does?**

Smart Stop will stop **ALL** the WSL services including the distros running in the background and the IDE that you specified in the settings as it is needed for WSL to not autorestart and close the `Vmmem` process.

---

## 🛠️Requirements

  

 - **Compatible WSL distros:**


	  	✔️ Ubuntu
 		 

	  	✔️ Debian
 		 

	  	✔️ kali-linux
 		 

	  	✔️ Ubuntu-16.04
 		 

	  	✔️ Ubuntu-18.04
 		 

	  	✔️ Ubuntu-20.04


 - **Install dpkg if not installed:**

	

       sudo apt-get update

       sudo apt-get install dpkg

 - **Enable PowerShell Scripts to run:**


 

 	Open PowerShell as administrator and type:

       

       Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

## ⚙️Installation

*IMPORTANT: All the installation is made from the WSL Terminal you want the program to be installed and used on.* 

 1. **Download the package:**

	 

		wget https://github.com/Flamiing/SmartStop/releases/download/v1.0.0/Smart_Stop_1.0_amd64.deb

 2. **Install the package:**

		sudo dpkg -i Smart_Stop_1.0_amd64.deb

 3. **Setup your preferences:**

 

	Set the distro in which you are installing Smart Stop by copying your distro name from the compatible distros section above and changing it for `DistroName`.

		smart-stop -d DistroName

	Set your IDE with the below command. Change `IDEName` by the process name of the IDE you use without the [filename extension](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename_extension#:~:text=A%20filename%20extension%2C%20file%20name,md%20). 


	If you don't know how to find a process name [click here](https://docs.celonis.com/en/how-to-discover-a-process-name-for-a-specific-application.html).

		smart-stop -i IDEName

		

	If you use _**Windows Terminal**_ and don’t want it to be closed you can set the option off by typing:

		smart-stop -t false

	If you change your mind you can just type:

		smart-stop -t true

## ⚡Usage

After everything is setup you can use `smart-stop` to close WSL and relax!


You can check at any time the list of available commands by typing `smart-stop -?` or `smart-stop --help`
