@elgalu actually, per my suggested approach we already have a servlet you can optionally include when running as a node. It’s called LifecycleServlet…

$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta4.jar -role node -servlet org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.LifecycleServlet

Then

$ curl -s http://{nodehost}:{nodeport}/extra/LifecycleServlet?action=shutdown

I tested this with beta4.

Closing this as a result. Please re-open if you see a need to.

@zenonwch
for /f "tokens=5" %%a in ('netstat -aon ^| findstr ":4444"') do taskkill /F /PID %%a How that breaks down: for /f "tokens=5" %%a in () do - For each line from the output of the bracketed command, store the 5th column in %a and run the following command 'netstat -aon ^| findstr ":4444"' - Output all network process with PID, and filter by lines containing :4444 taskkill /F /PID %%a - Forcibly kill the process with the PID stored in %a. I’m running this in a batch file. It seems you just can use %a instead of %%a when running in cmd.

Adding some more info on this;

It seems this is a RC server command which is not supported in the Se3 leg-rc package.

To get past the 404, you need to add the leg-rc package to the CLASSPATH
Then, you’ll see GET is not supported…
If you POST it, you’ll get a 500 java.lang.NullPointerException

Personally, I don’t see the need to support this command. Instead I think we should include (in our jar) an optional -servlet which adds the ability to shutdown a node via a HTTP request.
