# 7.3.52. `shutdown`

## 7.3.52.1. Summary

`shutdown` stops the Groonga server process.

`shutdown` uses graceful shutdown by default. If there are some running commands, the Groonga server process stops after these running commands are finished. New command requests aren't processed after `shutdown` command is executed.

New in version 6.0.1: `shutdown` uses immediate shutdown by specifying `immediate` to `mode` parameter. The Groonga server process stops immediately even when there are some running commands.

Note

You need to set Request ID to all requests to use immediate shutdown.

## 7.3.52.2. Syntax

This command takes only one optional parameter:

    shutdown [mode=graceful]

## 7.3.52.3. Usage

`shutdown` use graceful shutdown by default:

Execution example:

    shutdown
    # [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], true]

You can specify `graceful` to `mode` parameter explicitly:

Execution example:

    shutdown --mode graceful
    # [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], true]

You can choose immediate shutdown by specifying `immediate` to `mode` parameter:

Execution example:

    shutdown --mode immediate
    # [[0, 1337566253.89858, 0.000355720520019531], true]

Immediate shutdown is useful when you don't have time for graceful shutdown. For example, Windows kills service that takes long time to stop on Windows shutdown.
