Section 3.2 Stopping Jetty 6
Apart from stopping Jetty with a cntrl-c in the same terminal window where you started it, you can start Jetty so that it listens on a local port for stop commands:
java -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=secret -jar start.jar
The server can then be stopped using a different terminal window on the same machine:
java -DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=secret -jar start.jar --stop
If the STOP.KEY property is ommitted from the start command, then a random key is printed on the standard out. If the STOP.PORT is set to 0, a random available port is assigned and printed on the standard out.
