i&#39;m running mongo 1.8.2 and trying to see how to cleanly shut it down on Mac.

on our ubuntu servers i can shutdown mongo cleanly from the mongo shell with:

    &gt; use admin
    &gt; db.shutdownServer()

but on my Mac, it does not kill the mongod process.  the output shows that it &#39;should be&#39; shutdown but when i ps -ef | grep mongo it shows me an active process.  also, i can still open a mongo shell and query my dbs like it was never shutdown.

the output from my db.shutdownServer() locally is:

    MongoDB shell version: 1.8.2
    connecting to: test
    &gt; use admin                  
    switched to db admin
    &gt; db.shutdownServer()
    Tue Dec 13 11:44:21 DBClientCursor::init call() failed
    Tue Dec 13 11:44:21 query failed : admin.$cmd { shutdown: 1.0 } to: 127.0.0.1
    server should be down...
    Tue Dec 13 11:44:21 trying reconnect to 127.0.0.1
    Tue Dec 13 11:44:21 reconnect 127.0.0.1 failed couldn&#39;t connect to server 127.0.0.1
    Tue Dec 13 11:44:21 Error: error doing query: unknown shell/collection.js:150

i know i can just kill the process but i&#39;d like to do it more cleanly.
