Hello,

I am running a book server on a Raspberry Pi 4. I am using the following line on CRONTAB to start the server on boot.

@reboot /usr/bin/calibre-server --access-log /home/pi/LOG/access.log --log /home/pi/LOG/oper.log --daemonize --port 8080

It works great so far, except when I want to stop the content server for maintenance or other stuff. I spend much time trying to find the command to STOP it, but could not find anything close. So the simple question is: how can I stop the content server from the command line appropriate for CALIBRE-SERVER ? As it stands now, I comment the startup line in crontab, and reboot to finally have access to calibre for maintenance... Somewhat of a pain!

Thanks for any help.
