I'm technically savvy but don't have extensive experience with servers/daemons (I'm a Windows guy, so...command lines intimidate me).
I started a Mercurial server using the hg serve -d command, and all was well.
Now, I want to stop it, and can't find a process to kill. Does anybody know the process name or a relatively simply CLI command to get it done?
Here's a link to stop and start the Mercurial server via command line http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/hgserve
The information you're looking for is at the bottom of the page.
Did you try accessing the "Services" GUI? Not sure if mercurial shows up there, but its worth a try...
Start -> Administrative Tools -> Services
If Administrative Tools does not show up, right click the taskbar, click properties, click "start Menu" and customize. Then check "Show Administrative Tools". This is from memory since our IT department prevents us average users from doing this :-)
Good luck
