Description

There is a Connect API for this but no convenience utility to reach it.

I'm assuming that in the average use case, there's not a specific process associated with a Content that I want to kill, I just know that my app is hung or consuming too much memory and I want to kill "it" (however many processes it has) and restart it. So if <job_id> isn't provided, it kills all processes associated with <content_id>.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing rsconnect CLI command entry points and how they call the Connect API. Read the linked DELETE job endpoint and determine how content_id and optional job_id should map to requests. Done means rsconnect kill <content_id> [<job_id>] kills one job or all content processes as specified.
