Shutting down issue on Mac OS

[suhasj]

The normal way to shutdown Kestrel server is by pressing enter key. On OSX, if the user hits some other key, for example, 'Ctrl + C', the process is hung and cannot be exited. Pressing 'Ctrl+Z' stop the server but the port is blocked by the process. It would be great if the experience can be made better or at least have a default message that says' Press Enter to Exit"

Enter doesn't kill the process for me.

on linux i have to kill the terminal to kill the process :(

[suhasj]

when that happens, I think you have to hit enter multiple number of times to exit process

Simply hitting Enter doesn't stop kestrel on Ubuntu 14.04. Killing process not a good option to stop a service.

This issue is in the wrong place. Kestrel is just a web server. https://github.com/aspnet/Hosting is responsible for lifetime management. There is an issue where kestrel doesn't shutdown cleanly but that's tracked by this bug #9

Did someone ever add a message after running k kestrel to tell folks how to shut down the server?

I kept trying Ctrl+C, then eventually just Ctrl+Z and kill -9 until I stumbled across this thread.

On OS X just use the terminal.
1.- Open a new terminal window
2.- type "ps" to see the running processes
3.- type "kill -9 {ps id of mono running process}"
