How to stop Jenkins installed on Mac Snow Leopard?
MacosJenkinsDaemonMacos Problem Overview
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 daemon somewhere, making this a general OSX question.

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

- Start Jenkins service:
brew services start jenkins-lts

Solution 4 - Macos
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
Solution 5 - Macos
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 (
Solution 7 - Macos
use launchctl unload /Users/<user>/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins.plist
Solution 8 - Macos
-
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

UI -> jenkins --> manage jenkins --> prepare for shutdown
-
brew services stop jenkins --all
Solution 9 - Macos
