cortex stop --server-only            # Stop only the HTTP server
cortex stop --daemon-only            # Stop only the daemon processes
cortex stop -p 3000                  # Stop server on a specific port

Process Shutdown

On stop, Cortex performs a graceful shutdown:

1. SIGTERM sent to the target process
2. 5-second grace period for clean shutdown
3. SIGKILL if process hasn't exited

cortex stop

# Stop only the server
cortex stop --server-only

# Stop only daemons
cortex stop --daemon-only

# Stop server on custom port
cortex stop -p 8080
