Title: How to shut down a node
Post by: Chronos on May 20, 2016, 09:56:38 pm

Simple question. I have a node running, but if I kill the process, the entire blockchain gets replayed when I start up again. How do I gracefully shut down a node so that this doesn't happen?

Thanks!

Hi Chronos, great question! Just press Ctrl+C to shut down your node.

Killing the process with SIGTERM (not SIGKILL) will make the node save its internal state to disk and exit cleanly. CTRL-C sends SIGTERM in a terminal session, so that works too.
