How to stop Meteor?
JavascriptMeteorJavascript Problem Overview
The only answer on this question I saw - go start another copy on the different port. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10115931/switching-from-one-meteor-workspace-to-another Okay, I see that I can run another one on the different port, BUT how to stop the first one?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
I use this command:
kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | awk '{print $1}'`
Or, I run this if I'm on my local machine to kill remote processes:
ssh [user]@[server] <<'ENDSSH'
kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | awk '{print $1}'`
exit
ENDSSH
Solution 2 - Javascript
On OSX, go back to the term you opened to start meteor, and use CTRL+C to quit the process.
Solution 3 - Javascript
if Meteor is running on :3000 port:
kill -9 $(lsof -i :3000 -t);
Solution 4 - Javascript
Similar to Fernando's response, if you're on OSX you can quit the processes node and mongod using Activity Monitor.
quitting node will stop the server. The database will still be running and accepting incoming connections, so quitting mongod will turn off the database.
Solution 5 - Javascript
Enter command "Ctrl + C" on the terminal where the meteor process is running. This is the easiest way to kill the process in both Mac and Ubuntu. Not sure of Windows though.
Happy Coding!
Solution 6 - Javascript
In my case (Ubuntu 11.10) I open the System Monitor and kill manually the node and mongod processes.
Of course you can use also the terminal and kill these processes knowing their PID's.

An edit to John Devor's (accepted) answer: if you're editing your code with Atom, his command may kill the editor instances:
$ ps ax | grep node | grep meteor

Better to use a command like:
kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | grep -v atom | awk '{print $1}'`
Solution 8 - Javascript
When you are looking at the terminal with the unwanted meteor running just press Ctrl+C to turn off meteor.
To run more applications side by side run on a different port with the --port option
Solution 9 - Javascript
use sudo killall -9 node command. it will kill all the rprocess.
Solution 10 - Javascript
Actually, kill -9 kills meteor immediately, which is not a good idea. It's an emergency feature and should be applied only when regular kill (no signal specified) fails, as it prevents processes from running shutdown procedures.
Solution 11 - Javascript
the default port is 3000.If you want to run it in a different port use below meteor run --port 3030
run this in two command prompt.If you want to stop use ctrl+c in necessary command prompt
Solution 12 - Javascript
Enter command "Ctrl + C" on the terminal where you want to stop process is running. This is the easiest way to kill the process in both Mac and Ubuntu and Windows.And you can use "meteor run --port portnumber" to run the two or more projects at the same time
Solution 13 - Javascript
It's so simple in my case, I always have two terminal tabs open, one for launching Meteor/stopping it and the other terminal for working the commands. So to stop it I just do the universal control+c to stop the working process.
Solution 14 - Javascript
In the terminal, I used: $ sudo killall -9 node (this kills all running node jobs)
