Synopsis

percio stop

​

What it does

• Reads the daemon’s lockfile to find the running daemon.
• Sends it a shutdown request.
• Removes the lockfile.

​

Example

$ percio stop
Daemon stopped.

$ percio stop
Daemon is not running.

​

When to use this

• You’re done for the day and want to free up the Chromium processes.
• You’re troubleshooting a stuck daemon — percio stop followed by retrying your command usually clears the issue.
• You pinned the daemon to a specific port and want to free it.

​

When not to use this

• During a running test. The CLI holds the test alive through the daemon — stopping the daemon mid-test will cut it off.
