Should just work. What command did you issue and what problem did you
see?

curl -XGET 'http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes/_shutdown?pretty=true'

running this was like a nop..
i got the below output -

{
"cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
"nodes" : {
}
}

thanks

i see that " curl -XPOST '
http://localhost:9200/_cluster/nodes/_shutdown?pretty=true' " does the job
of virtually shutting down ES by not making it accept any further requests
etc. but it doesn't kill the process.. so one has to run kill -9
too.. is that normal?

thanks
