You still think about some events, but I think what you want to do are actions.
Having the user thinking there's some kind of event mechanism in the server is
IMO wrong, if there isn't.

So, how about just „do“? „runtime do freeze“ seems intuitive and nicely short.
And it is actually an imperative to the server, which is what the command
actually is.

Would that sound OK?

Have a nice day
