When the judgment is not for the recovery of money or real property, the same may be enforced by attachment, by the court rendering judgment, upon motion made, or by a rule of the court upon the defendant; but in either case, notice of the motion or a service of a copy of the rule shall be made on the defendant, a reasonable time before the order of attachment is made.

Plain-English Summary
Not every judgment orders someone to pay money or hand over land. Section 902 covers what happens with the rest: judgments ordering some other type of relief, like an act to be performed or stopped. The court that entered the judgment can enforce it by attachment, either on motion or through a rule of the court against the defendant.
Either path requires warning the defendant first. Notice of the motion, or service of a copy of the rule, has to reach the defendant a reasonable time before the order of attachment issues.
