Feature Request: CLI method for stopping servers

[brookisme]

Currently it seems that best method for killing running servers is http://stackoverflow.com/a/38513158

It would be nice to have something more direct. Perhaps...

$ jupyter notebook stop <PORT>

nbmanager can stop a notebook server on demand. Even if the GUI is not to your taste, it has a Python API module which can do the same thing. I agree that a command line interface would be good too.

If you run jupyter as a child of another process, sending a SIGINT is enough to shutdown the server.

@changhe3 The particular use case that brought this to my attention was running jupyter on a remote server and losing the connection. Of course had I been running it with tmux or screen it wouldn't be an issue but I don't do that 100% of the time

Finding the process-id and killing it is easy enough, and it wouldn't take much thought to write a bash-script to do this in one line, but it still seems like if there is a cli command for starting a notebook there should be one for stopping it :)

Just a thought. Feel free to close this if you aren't interested or don't have time to address it right now.

@brookisme Would you like to submit a PR for this feature? The jupyter notebook list subcommand is here for reference...

Hows this #2388?
