how to shutdown server

[seriousManual]

In the documentation you mention that via the mongodb helper the server can be started. Is there any way to shutdown that server instance programatically?

Ideally we'd have a function we could invoke that would terminate the spawned process. But in the meantime, I hope this unblocks folks:

new MongoBins("mongo", ["--eval", "db.getSiblingDB('admin').shutdownServer()"]).run();

Don't forget to pass in your port if it's not the default.

There's probably some slicker mongo-fu out there. Answer provided without warranty, etc. etc.

Any updates? @winfinit should be easy to provide a function to exit the child process. Do you accept PR?

Hello Dusting,

PRs are always welcome! I’ve meant to fix this one for a while now, but just didn’t get around it yet.
