Hi Shay, Cntrl-C options is currently not available in ES(new version) so the best way to stop elastic search using Shutdown api ? or is there any other way to stop ES (server or cluster) other than making HTTP request(using java client) ? Regards, Lalit. ---

?. Ctrl+C will work, assuming its running in the foreground. You can also "kill pid" the process (thats an ordinary shutdown of a node), or use the shutdown API (with whatever client you want to use).

thanks Shay On windows Vista i am unable to use cntrl C to stop elasticsearch server(0.17.6). but with previous version elasticsearch-0.16.4 I was able to do so.

I confirm what Lalit said. So by now, i simply click on the close button and it send the kill smoothly message to ES which ends ES as it was in the previous version. If Windows ask for "force terminate" (don't know how it is in english), just click on Wait for the end of the process.

Thats strange, nothing specific changed there. You mean you press Crtl+C in the windows screen, and nothing happens? even if you "wait"?

Yes. But when i run on the same computer a 0.16.5 version, CTRL C works. I didn't test it on Windows 7.

I found the difference In 0.16.5, you have set JAVA\_OPTS=%JAVA\_OPTS% -Djline.enabled=false in elasticsearch.bat In 0.17.6, it’s not here anymore. When you add it to 0.17.6, CTRL+C works again.

Hi, Is it possible to create shutdown script for cluster and nodes? rather than maintaining it over HTTP so as to have better control ? Regards, Lalit.

Is there something wrong with simply exposing it with HTTP, you can create a script however you want calling it.

Hi Shay, If the shutdown service is exposed over an HTTP there is a potential threat that any one can fire a shutdown request. Rather I feel start/stop service is kind of admin service and should not be exposed over an HTTP or we should have some kind of authentication if exposed over an HTTP. Regards, Lalit.
