Synopsis

[--force={true|false}] [--kill={false|true}]
[instance-name]

Description

The stop-local-instance subcommand stops a Payara Server instance on the machine where the subcommand is run. This subcommand does not require secure shell (SSH) to be configured. You must run this command from the machine where the instance resides.

The subcommand can stop any Payara Server instance, regardless of how the instance was created. For example, this subcommand can stop an instance that was created by using the create-instance subcommand.

The stop-local-instance subcommand does not contact the DAS to determine the node on which the instance resides. To determine the node on which the instance resides, the subcommand searches the directory that contains the node directories. If multiple node directories exist, the node must be specified as an option of the subcommand.

This subcommand is supported in local mode.

--nodedir

Specifies the directory that contains the instance’s node directory. The instance’s files are stored in the instance’s node directory. The default is as-install`/nodes`.

--node

Specifies the node on which the instance resides. This option may be omitted only if the directory that the --nodedir option specifies contains only one node directory. Otherwise, this option is required.

--force

Specifies whether the instance is forcibly stopped immediately.
Possible values are as follows:

true

The instance is forcibly stopped immediately (default).

false

The subcommand waits until all threads that are associated with the instance are exited before stopping the instance.

--kill

Specifies whether the instance is killed by using functionality of the operating system to terminate the instance process.
Possible values are as follows:

false

The instance is not killed. The subcommand uses functionality of the Java platform to terminate the instance process (default).

true

The instance is killed. The subcommand uses functionality of the operating system to terminate the instance process.

Operands
