What is the correct way to stop aem as a cloud service so that I can restart again

[vineetham123]

Can any of you explain with screenshot how to stop aem as a cloud service? the scripts stop.bat etc didn't work for me.

What I mean by restart is that , after stop access to the link : http://localhost:4502/aem/start.html will not connect to the aem home page

hi @vineetham123  can you try stoping the server using below screen.

The answer looks good! thaks. But what If I want to restart in debug mode?

[Jagadeesh_Prakash]

@vineetham123  if you want to start a jar in debug mode in local then use below command 

java -jar cq-author-p4502.jar -debug 30303 

where 30303 is the port on which the debug will be running. In your IDE you can start running the debug mode on 30303. 

refer to below article on how you can run debug mode on IDE

I hope you mean restarting local SDK.

Customers cannot restart AEMaaCS servers.

@aanchal-sikka I meant local SDK. How can I restart in debug mode if I accidentally started aem in normal mode?

Hi @vineetham123 
If you can stop AEM using below 2 commands.

ps -A | grep author

kill -9 <PID>

First command will gve you the PID and second command will kill the process.

 @Jagadeesh_Prakash , thanks for the response. Your method , followed by entering ctrl+C on the terminal(linux) opened where the jar is present, will stop the aem in local. Then we can start it again in the normal way.
