Stop IDOL

You can stop an IDOL component from running in several different ways.

  • (All Platforms) Send the Stop service action to the component service port:

    http://host:servicePort/action=stop

    where host is the name or IP address of the host on which the IDOL component is running, and servicePort is the component service port (which is specified in the [Service]section of the IDOL configuration file).

    NOTE: It can take a short while for the Content process to stop after you have sent the stop action to IDOL.

  • On Windows platforms, when the component is installed as a service, you can use the system dialog box to stop the service:

    1. Display the Windows Services dialog box.

    2. Select the service, and click Stop.

    3. Click Close to close the Services dialog box.

  • On UNIX platforms, when the component is installed as a service, you can run one of the following commands to stop the service:

    • On systemd platforms:

      systemctl stop ServiceName
    • On system V platforms:

      service ServiceName stop
