3. Stopping from command line

3. Stopping from command line

There are two ways to stop Caudium:

  • Kill Caudium with a -9 signal. If you do this Caudium will restart. Actually it will be restarted by the start script.

  • Kill Caudium (with kill(1)'s default TERM signal) . In this case, Caudium will stop cleanly. If you use Caudium 1.2 and later, you can use the caudiumctl command. A man page for caudiumctl should be available on your system.

Note

In both cases Caudium will stop only after a few moments.

On Debian GNU/Linux, you can use the following commands to manipulate the server status:


# /etc/init.d/caudium stop
# /etc/init.d/caudium start
# /etc/init.d/caudium restart
