IDOL 12.13

# Stop IDOL

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

  To stop a unified IDOL Server, you can send the Stop service action to the IDOL Proxy component, and it automatically stops the other components.

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

- 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 IDOLServer service, and click Stop to stop IDOL.

  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

  - On Solaris platforms (using System V):

        /etc/init.d/ServiceName stop
