To Stop the Directory Server that is Running in the Foreground
On any system (whether the directory server is running in the foreground or the background), or even from a remote system, you can stop the server using one of the following methods. For more information about the stop-ds command, see stop-ds in Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.0 Command-Line Usage Guide.
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ stop-ds (Windows) C:\> stop-ds
(UNIX, Linux) $ cd install-dir/bin (Windows) C:\> cd install-dir\bat
(UNIX, Linux) $ control-panel (Windows) C:\> control-panel
This procedure assumes that the directory server is running as a foreground process (using the -N or --nodetach option).
Alternatively, run the stop-ds command from another window.
The stop-ds command provides a “quiet” option (-Q or --quiet) that suppresses output during the stopping process unless a significant error occurs. You can use this option in a shutdown script.
install-dir/bin/stop-ds --quiet
