murmur sleep

Stops an agent’s VM. The agent’s workflow and state are preserved — the VM is deallocated but the agent remains in PHASE_SLEEPING. A sleeping agent wakes automatically when it receives a follow-up, or manually with murmur wake. Use murmur sleep to save compute costs on agents you want to keep alive but don’t need running right now.

Synopsis

murmur sleep [flags] [slug]

On a VM, the slug is optional — omitting it puts the current agent to sleep.

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
`slug`	string	on laptop	The agent’s slug. Optional on VMs (defaults to self).
`--workspace`	string	no	Workspace name. Overrides the value from `murmur.yaml`.

Output

VM stopped

Examples

Put an idle agent to sleep

murmur sleep fix-auth

VM stopped

Confirm the agent is sleeping

murmur status fix-auth

workflow: github_oauth/alice/w/backend/fix-auth
phase:    PHASE_SLEEPING
vm:       murmur-a1b2c3d4 (acme-agents/us-central1-a) [stopped]

Wake it back up later

murmur wake fix-auth

VM started

Errors

Code	Meaning	What to do
`NOT_FOUND`	No agent with that slug exists.	Check the slug spelling. Use `murmur ls` to see running agents.
`UNAUTHENTICATED`	Identity token is missing or expired.	Run `murmur auth` or check your `murmur.local.yaml` configuration.
