Stop Knowledge Discovery

You can stop a Knowledge Discovery 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 component is running, and servicePort is the component service port (which is specified in the [Service]section of the component configuration file).

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

  • 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
