Stopping the local platform

Summary#

Stops the local platform for your project — the one Compiling your app, Running tests locally and Launching your app start on demand. The platform's database stops with it, so there is nothing left running after it returns.

Signature#

osy stop [path] [--devname <name>]

Description#

The loop commands start a local platform in the background when one isn't already running, and leave it up so your next command is fast (Running a local platform). osy stop is how you shut that platform down when you're done — it stops the server and the database it manages, and reports plainly when there was nothing running.

You rarely need it during a normal session: leaving the platform running between commands is the point, and it costs little. Reach for it when you want a clean slate, are switching away from a project, or want to be sure nothing is running in the background.

• path selects the project (defaults to the current directory).
• --devname stops a named server instead of this project's, matching osyrin dev --devname (setting OSY_DEVNAME works too).

It only ever stops a server it can confirm is the one it started: it matches the running process against what the server recorded about itself, and if the recorded server is already gone it simply reports that and stops nothing — it will not signal an unrelated process that has since taken over the same slot.

Examples#

osy stop            # stop the local platform for this project
