stopping prodigy server from web UI

[washcycle (Matt Landowski)]

Is there a way to stop the prodigy webserver in a safe manner from the web UI?

I'm attempting to use the update function to exit the python process.

Use case: use CI/CD workflow to spin up prodigy web server with new example data for the day. When annotator is finished either with examples of on demand, I want to close the prodigy window with a success so the next task will execute in the CI/CD pipeline.

Kinda crazy I know, but crazy is my middle name.

Hi @washcycle!

Interesting use case! I found a similar old post. While it was in Jupyter, the same idea should apply:

Stopping the Prodigy server in a Jupyter Notebook

Hi Vigno, better than restarting your computer, you can write in a Jupyter cell: !netstat -ano | findstr :8080 This looks for the PID (Process ID) of the web server on the port 8080, in this case Prodigy, in order to be able to terminate it with the following command: !Taskkill /PID <PIDProdigy> /F This works in windows and propably similiar for other OS. You could even probably automate this with a small script/ function. Best, Paul

I have a Mac and found these commands to work (granted I manually grabbed the PID to be safe):

# find <PIDProdigy> for prodigy session
ps -A | grep prodigy
# kill PID
kill -9 <PIDProdigy>

Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions!
