how to stop jetty without knowing the stop key
jetty, solr
Solution
If the server was started without a STOP.KEY then you can't request a --stop.
Now, that being said, you can always issue a kill on the process too.
$ kill -TERM {pid of jetty}
Problem
when i ran jetty which is embedded with in apache solr. All i did was java -jar start.jar and it ran i put the process in the bg by doing ctrl-z and bg i am trying to stop it by java -DSTOP.PORT=8983 -DSTOP.KEY=stop_jetty -jar start.jar --stop And i am not really sure if the the stop key above is correct . i get no error and go into a new prompt. the app is still listening at that port. and when i did java -DSTOP.PORT=8983 -jar start.jar --stop It said it requires the -DSTOP.KEY property as well. I am not sure if i want to kill the process. Any tip/suggestion ? where to look for the stop key. i did not provide any keys at the start.
