Terminating mvn spring-boot:run doesn't stop tomcat

Question

I can successfully start spring-boot with mvn spring-boot, the documentation mentions to gracefully exit the application hit ctrl-c.

Terminate batch job (Y/N)? Y 

The maven process does terminate but Tomcat is still running and I can still hit the web-page. When I try to start spring-boot again it fails to start Tomcat because the port is in use.

To proceed I have to manually terminate the running process. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Answer 1

It still happens to me on version 1.1.9 running on windows 7.

So after hitting Ctrl C. The fastest way to kill the background java will be .

Find the java PID

     c:\>netstat -ano | find "8080"      TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1196      TCP    [::]:8080              [::]:0                 LISTENING       1196      c:\>taskkill /F /PID 1196      SUCCESS: The process with PID 1196 has been terminated. 

I am assuming in the example above that you are running on http port 8080

For Mac Users:

     $lsof -i :8080      COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME      java    SOME_PID user  417u  IPv6 0xa4b3be242c249a27      0t0  TCP *:name (LISTEN)      kill -9 SOME_PID
