I have installed Jenkins executable on OSX, but now I want to stop it running. Whenever I kill it, no matter how, it just restarts immediately.

I've tried using the exit command on the jenkins url:

http://localhost:8080/exit

which asks me to post the command, which I do, and the server shuts down as requested. But then it restarts.

I've tried searching for the process id using ps, and force killing it (kill -9 pid), and the server shuts down immediately, as requested. But then it restarts.

I've tried shutting it down via the gui, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

There must be a daem开发者_如何学Con somewhere, making this a general OSX question.

Just unload the plist using launchctl

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

For 1.505 you can use web api

http://localhost:8080/exit
http://localhost:8080/restart
http://localhost:8080/reload

• Start Jenkins service: brew services start jenkins-lts
• Stop Jenkins service: brew services stop jenkins-lts
• Restart Jenkins service: brew services restart jenkins-lts

There are two things going on.

(1) will your system start Jenkins when it comes up. Controlled by load and unload.

(2) Is Jenkins currently running or not. Controlled by start and stop.

Jenkins unload stops it and it won't load again on boot up

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

stop it without unloading it ( will load again when you reboot)

sudo launchctl stop /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

load it - starts it and will restart whenever your system boots

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

restarts it, doesn't effect loaded or unloaded status

sudo launchctl start /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

I had to unload/load the LaunchAgents:

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.jenkins-ci.plist

I'm on Sierra (10.12.3).

Note, that if you wish also to disable running Jenkins on Mac OS start up, according to http://halyph.blogspot.ru/2013/03/jenkins-on-mac-os-x-tips-and-tricks.html you should do:

sudo defaults write /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci RunAtLoad -bool NO

UPD: didn't work for me (

use launchctl unload /Users/<user>/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins.plist

1. sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

2. UI -> jenkins --> manage jenkins --> prepare for shutdown

3. brew services stop jenkins --all

Jenkins commands for Mac for M1 and Intel

Start Jenkins service   : brew services start jenkins-lts
Stop Jenkins service    : brew services stop jenkins-lts
Restart Jenkins service : brew services restart jenkins-lts
