How to shut down daemon started by serve_book(daemon=TRUE)

[hammer]

What's the preferred way to kill the daemonized server started by serve_book(daemon=TRUE)?

I am not 100% sure that it is the same, but when I use serve_site from blogdown it gives me a message with the line of code to run to kill the server (which is mostly doing to give you the exact instance number that has to be passed to the function) or it tells me to restart my R session (Ctrl + Shift + F10).. So if this command doesn't give you a message with the correct instance number to kill it than you can always just restart your R session.

Ah I see it now! To stop the server, run servr::daemon_stop("981593464") or restart your R session. Thanks @tbradley. There's also servr::daemon_list() in case you miss the message and don't feel like scrolling up, and you can also use daemon_pid <- serve_book(...) to capture the pid at startup.

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
