If the server is running as the foreground process in a terminal  this can be done by pressing  Ctrl-C   Another way to cleanly shut down a running server is to use the shutdown command    gt  use admin  gt  db shutdownServer      Otherwise  a command like kill can be used to send the signal  If mongod has 10014 as its PID  the command would be   kill -2 10014

I followed the official MongoDB documentation for stopping with signals  One of the following commands can be used  PID represents the Process ID of the mongod process   kill PID  which sends signal 15  SIGTERM   or kill -2 PID  which sends signal 2  SIGINT    Warning from MongoDB documentation  Never use kill -9  i e  SIGKILL  to terminate a mongod instance   If you have more than one instance running or you don t care about the PID  you could use pkill to send the signal to all running mongod processes  pkill mongod  or pkill -2 mongod  or  much more safer  only to the processes belonging to you  pkill -U  USER mongod  or pkill -2 -U  USER mongod  NOTE  If the DB is running as another user  but you have administrative rights  you have invoke the above commands with sudo  in order to run them  E g   sudo pkill mongod sudo pkill -2 mongod  PS Note  I resorted to this option  because mongod --shutdown  although mentioned in the current MongoDB documentation  curiously doesn t work on my machine  macOS  mongodb v3 4 10  installed with homebrew   Error parsing command line  unrecognised option  --shutdown  PPS  macOS specific  Before anyone wonders  no  I could not stop it with command brew services stop mongodb because I did not start it with brew services start mongodb  I had started mongod with a custom command line  -

If you literally want a one line equivalent to the commands in your original question  you could alias   mongo --eval  db getSiblingDB  admin   shutdownServer     Mark s answer on starting and stopping MongoDB via services is the more typical  and recommended  administrative approach

User · Answer

Starting and Stopping MongoDB is covered in the MongoDB manual  It explains the various options of stopping MongoDB through the shell  cli  drivers etc  It also details the risks of incorrectly stopping MongoDB  such as data corruption  and talks about the different kill signals   Additionally  if you have installed MongoDB using a package manager for Ubuntu or Debian then you can stop mongodb  currently mongod in ubuntu  as follows            Upstart  sudo service mongod stop Sysvinit  sudo  etc init d mongod stop   Or on Mac OS X    Find PID of mongod process using   top Kill the process by   kill  lt PID gt   the Mongo docs have more info on this    Or on Red Hat based systems    service mongod stop   Or on Windows if you have installed as a service named MongoDB    net stop MongoDB   And if not installed as a service  as of Windows 7   you can run    taskkill  f  im mongod exe   To learn more about the problems of an unclean shutdown  how to best avoid such a scenario and what to do in the event of an unclean shutdown  please see  Recover Data after an Unexpected Shutdown

Building on the answer from stennie   mongo --eval  db getSiblingDB  admin   shutdownServer   quit      I found that mongo was trying to reconnect to the db after the server shut down  which would cause a delay and error messages   Adding quit   after shutdown speeds it up and reduces the messages  but there is still one    I also want to add context - I m starting and stopping mongod as part of test cases for other code  so registering as a service does not fit the use case   I am hoping to end up with something that runs on all platforms  this tested in windows right now    I m using mongod 3 6 9
