stopping on Mac OS X (beginner question)

[Alex Greif]

Hi,

just downloaded arangoDB for MAC OS X  as an application bundle "ArangoDB-CLI" (without package manager)
Doubleclicking starts it fine, and opens a shell window...

But I wonder, how can I stop the server?
In the web interface (http://127.0.0.1:8529/) I cannot find a shutdown function.

thanks,
Alex.

Hi,
You can just hit Ctrl-C in the shell window. The web UI does not have a shutdown, but there is an HTTP API for shutdown.

Hi Max,

Ctrl-C does not stop the server... it only returns to the shell prompt.
here is the shell output with a netstat and ps at the end.
I could only stop arango by killing the process.
Is stopping arangoDB with 'kill <pid>' a possible way, or does it cause some harm to the internals?

thanks,
Alex.


ArangoDB server has been started
...
Switching to log-file now, killing this windows will NOT stop the server.

Hi Alex,
Ok so this must be some different behaviour between Linux and Mac
OSX. It is save to do
kill <PID>
or even
killall arangodb
If you do
kill -9 <PID>
you might lose some uncomitted stuff.
