how to close selenium hub/grid from command prompt
http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDownSeleniumServer
is the command to close the opened selenium session. If the session is opened using batch file please remove the '@pause' command if its is used. This is useful when we are trying to stop and start the server during or in between test case execution.
Or
"Ctrl + C" is the best option.
Here is how you can shut it down
http://host-server:port/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDownSeleniumServer
The URL command shutDownSeleniumServer is no longer supported as of Selenium 3.0.
This github issue suggests that the servlet that manages the lifecycle is still available, but accessible through a different URL:
http://{hubhost}:{hubport}/lifecycle-manager/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown
If the server is running as a node, the servlet has to be enabled at runtime:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0.jar -role node -servlet org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.LifecycleServlet
And the shutdown URL for a node is:
http://{nodehost}:{nodeport}/extra/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown
