Stop Shiny app from outside the App

[Otmane Jai]

Hi everyone,

I have a locally deployed shiny Application.

I want to run a scheduled R script to stop the App (if it is already running), update some data and the run the app again.

My issue is that I don't know how to stop the App from outside the App (knowing the host address and the source file directory). I want an equivalent for this:

shiny::runApp(appDir = 'C:/***', host = "10.***", port = 5050, launch.browser = TRUE)

but this time for stopping the App and not running it.

Appreciate your help !
