Stop (headless) server command?

[HuggernautNL]

Maybe I'm stupid, but I can not find a command to stop the server.
Currently I "stop" it by killing the screen session on linux, but surely that is not the right way.

Anybody help me out?

CTRL + C ?

[HuggernautNL]

thats not a command is it?

[AlexMBrennan]

ctrl c is equivalent to

killall -SIGINT

[HuggernautNL]

same as just closing the screen session then

[HuggernautNL]

but is there really no stop command?

[HuggernautNL]

Anyone?

[wcbarney]

Ummmmm ..... Do you mean you want to go to the Main Menu [Esc], then Save Game, then Exit?

[HuggernautNL]

No, I am talking about a terminal command in Linux

[HuggernautNL]

Bump.

Dev team? Help needed here.

You just press ctrl + c in your linux terminal, it then saves and exits.

It is supposed to work with CTRL+C (I recommend to use a screen session), this does the same as sending SIGINT to it, which saves the game to the original filename and quits.

With 0.12.30 there is a bug making this not work (at least on linux), which will be fixed in 0.12.31.
[0.12.30][Linux x64] Does not save on graceful shutdown[forums.factorio.com]

You can also save manually if you have commands enabled, using

/c game.server_save()

from any connected peer.

I will try this later. (Not at home currently). And yes I use screen on linux.

I think you mean the linux command?

Systemctrl stop factorio

[Waronone]

For reference, /quit seems to work

Sorry to revive this old topic, but it's so funny to watch the ignorant replies. What he means is that the headless server have commands.
Example: /opt/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --start-server

Yes, it NORMALLY runs on the terminal you type it in, but if you transformed it into a service to run through systemctl or any other hidden shell, you might be locked out, unable to see or interact with the server.

Well:

1. check if it is a running service using: systemctl status factorio
2. if yes, use systemctl stop factorio (it may need a "sudo" prefix there)
3. if not a service, use ps aux | grep factorio
4. the first column of results is the user running it, the second is the PID number, and the last is the path to where it started from
5. use kill <PID number> in all the currencies listed (example: kill 3428)

Done.

Also, there is no way to stop the server from the inside, like using an admin player account.
