How do I cleanly shut down NodeOS?

Question

I'd like to cleanly shut down NodeOS so that the next time I start it, I don't have to --resync. How do I do that?

Edit: Just to clarify the purpose of what might seem like an extremely obvious question/answer, I was getting prompted to resync after using pkill to terminate nodeOS...or, so I thought - due to a bug in my code, nodeOS was being killed by the termination of a JVM (long story) - the answer to this question helped me trace that issue - it's resolved now and everything is awesome

Answer 1

pkill nodeos or just kill <PID> where pid is nodeos's pid.

basically do not do: kill -9 <PID>

Answer 2

You can do a ctr+c or just kill the process, in either case you won’t need a resync.

Answer 3

pidof is good. use following command.

$ kill \`pidof nodeos\`

Answer 4

Try this to find out what port nodeos is running on.

$ pgrep nodeos | xargs printf " -p %d" | xargs lsof -Pani

Then, kill the process with: $ pkill nodeos
