systemctl-stop
Stop systemd units
TLDR
Stop a unit
$ systemctl stop [unit]
Stop a service and suppress warnings$ systemctl stop [unit] --no-warn
Stop a user unit$ systemctl stop [unit] --user
SYNOPSIS
systemctl [OPTIONS...] stop PATTERN...
DESCRIPTION
systemctl stop deactivates systemd units, stopping services, unmounting filesystems, or deactivating other unit types. The command queues a stop job for the specified unit.
For services, this sends a stop command (usually SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL after timeout). The unit transitions to the inactive state. Dependent units are not automatically stopped unless they cannot function without the stopped unit.
PARAMETERS
--user
Stop user service manager units instead of system units--no-block
Do not wait for the operation to complete--no-warn
Suppress warning about stopping running units--job-mode=MODE
Specify how to deal with already queued jobs
CAVEATS
Requires root privileges for system units. Stopping a unit does not disable it; it may restart on next boot if enabled. Some services may take time to stop gracefully.
