Stop the LM Studio headless daemon — lms_daemon

Stops the llmster daemon via the CLI. Use this to clean up system resources when you are completely finished using LM Studio in headless mode.

Usage

lms_daemon_stop(force = FALSE)

Arguments

force: TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, attempts to stop the local server before shutting down the daemon. The daemon cannot be stopped while the server is actively running. Defaults to FALSE. If no server is running, the message of lms_server_stop() says so. Any other value, NULL and NA included, aborts before the lms CLI runs.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE if the daemon stopped or was not running, and FALSE if the LM Studio GUI manages it.

Details

If the CLI exits with a status other than 0, the function reads what the CLI wrote. If the text says that the daemon is part of LM Studio, the function prints an info message and returns FALSE. If the text says that the daemon is not running, it prints an info message and returns TRUE. Letter case does not matter. Any other failure aborts. The message gives the exit code, quotes what the CLI wrote after "The CLI said:", and gives a hint about force = TRUE. The quoted text is the stderr text, or the stdout text if stderr holds only whitespace and escape codes. A byte that is not valid UTF-8 shows as <xx>, its hex value. ANSI escape codes, such as color codes, cursor codes, and terminal links, are removed, and each run of whitespace becomes one space. A text longer than 1000 characters keeps at most its last 1000 characters, after "…".

Desktop Users

If the daemon is currently being managed by the LM Studio desktop application, the CLI does not stop it. The CLI intentionally prevents programmatic shutdowns of the GUI to avoid disrupting visual sessions. This function then returns FALSE, and the daemon keeps running. In this scenario, you must close the desktop application manually.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
lms_daemon_stop(force = TRUE)
} # }
