Just got started with ipfs. after we do $ipfs daemon and then i reach out to localhost:5001/webui (which shows connection refused. checked proxy and evrything). The daemon escapes the cmd, but still running in background. when we do $ipfs swarm peers. it gives "error: api not running"
click here to view the cmd
1, it's ipfs shutdown now. (2) Enter ipfs shutdown . (3) The original ipfs deamon active terminal will stop running.
The IPFS daemon is a service that runs on a machine and allows access to other peers on the network. This is what the IPFS client manages.
On macOS/Unix it would be killall ipfs
, so maybe the equivalent taskkill
command should suffice on Windows, which would (probably! I don't know anything about Windows) be taskkill /f /im ipfs
, but maybe you should test it first without the /f
(force) option.

As a sidenote: there's been some discussion in the ipfs realm about adding start
and stop
to the ipfs daemon
command; but I don't know if and when it's going to be implemented.
It has been added; the command is ipfs shutdown
