clean shutdown?

[wlbrenne]

If I'm simply running the server in a terminal (or console), what's the cleanest way to shutdown the server?

Is Control-C good enough? Will the server capture that particular signal to shutdown cleanly , or will have to send another signal (i.e. SIGQUIT, SIGSTOP, etc.) to that pid?

Control-C is good enough for a clean shutdown of the server process running in the foreground of a terminal.

You can also run

% kill (serverpid)

This sends terminate by default and will also cleanly shut down the server.
