how to restore localhost:8080 from Fitnesse?

Question

I installed Fitnesse.jar($using java -jar finesse.jar -p 8080) and localhost is occupied by it. now I want to remove it and restore my localhost when i need localhost for remote debugging in Eclipse. What can i do with it?

Answer 1

There are a couple ways to kill fitnesse (after being ran as a daemon process):

• kill the Java process (kill -9 or through the task manager)

• use the shutdown class/command:

  java -cp fitnesse.jar fitnesse.Shutdown -h localhost -p 8080
  

• use shutdown REST command, via for example wget:

  http://localhost:8080/?responder=shutdown
