[duursma]

Apache Hop version?

Java version?

19.0.1

Operating system

Windows

What happened?

I started a hop-server on the localhost on port 8181. If I try to kill it from the command line it reports that it can't find the server.

./hop-server.bat -kill -u cluster -p cluster localhost 8181
org.apache.hop.www.HopServer$HopServerCommandException: "No Hop Server Server found at localhost:8181

If I query the status however I get a list of recently run pipelines
./hop-server.bat -gs -u cluster -p cluster localhost 8181

Pipelines: 2 found.

Hi! I am using 2.9.0 for a hop server using port 8080 for starting and the shutdown port 8079, via configuration file. No matter which command I use, when trying to kill it, the Hop server keeps saying: "No Hop Server Server found at ...". I
tried specifiying only 8080, only 8079, or both 8080 8079 in the --kill command.
E.g.:
hop-server.sh 8080 --kill --userName cluster --password
hop-server.sh 8080 8079 --kill --userName cluster --password

Other hop-server.sh commands using same hostname, port 8080 and same credentials work, however, only the "kill" seems to produce the "No hop server found" error.

Under Windows the same problem is present.

This feature was removed again because anyone could stop the server without credentials. The only way now is to kill the process

[bamaer]

reopened because the --kill option is still in the docs and in the CLI options.

Might be better to re-open #3367

Or a new high prio ticket

[bamaer]

will be fixed in #4420
