SHUTDOWN

Syntax

SHUTDOWN [NOSAVE | SAVE]

Time complexity: O(1)

ACL categories: @admin, @slow, @dangerous

Options

The SHUTDOWN command supports optional modifiers to alter the behavior of the command:

  • SAVE will force a DB saving operation even if no save points are configured.
  • NOSAVE will prevent a DB saving operation even if one or more save points are configured.

Also note: If Dragonfly receives one of the signals SIGTERM and SIGINT, the same shutdown sequence is performed. See also Signal Handling.

Return

Simple string reply: OK if ABORT was specified and shutdown was aborted. On successful shutdown, nothing is returned since the server quits and the connection is closed. On failure, an error is returned.
