Hey, is there a command I can run at the prompt which allows me to kill a python server, such as sabnzbd, manually?  I'm a linux novice.

Yeah, it's call "kill" or "killall"

 

do a "ps -ef" to get the list of running process's and the ID's.  From there you can type "kill PROCESS_ID"

Thanks.  While we're at it, is there a way to force an unmount of a disk when it seemingly hangs?  Every once in a while, one of the python servers doesn't allow a disk to unmount.  Is there a way to do this manually without a hard reset?  Thanks.

 

EDIT: it seems that the powerdown script in unmenu will do what I need

killall python should do it.

 

The WIKI has a python applicacation page and there are lines there you can use to cleanly shut-down the applications. They use wget to basically do the same this as pressing the shutdown on the web interface.
