How to stop eXist-db safely on a distant linux server with its own IP? -

during fast prototyping don’t care consistency , safety of database (i use test files). however, know best practices later use. @ moment, can’t figure out how stop exist bin/shutdown.sh script if app not run on http://localhost:8080.

i able set port jetty , works. of course, start app bin/startup.sh. however, if try stop jetty + exist bin/shutdown.sh, got error:

error: http server returned unexpected status: origin http://localhost:8080 not configured, perhaps wanted http://[my ip]:8080 cause: http server returned unexpected status: origin http://localhost:8080 not configured, perhaps wanted http://[my ip]:8080 

i have tried install wrapper , exist runs since system startup still can’t stop safely (i can kill it).

my app runs on port 8081, ubuntu 14.04 machine.

update

if run app inside screen session, quit session , use bin/shutdown.sh, logs:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -xms128m -xmx512m -dfile.encoding=utf-8 -djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/honza/exist-db/lib/endorsed -dexist.home=/home/honza/exist-db -jar /home/honza/exist-db/start.jar shutdown error: http server returned unexpected status: not found cause: http server returned unexpected status: not found 

if use: java -jar start.jar shutdown --uri=xmldb:exist://[my ip]:8081/xmlrpc, logs:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java -xms128m -xmx512m -dfile.encoding=utf-8 -djava.endorsed.dirs=/home/honza/exist-db/lib/endorsed -dexist.home=/home/honza/exist-db -jar /home/honza/exist-db/start.jar shutdown error: http server returned unexpected status: not found cause: http server returned unexpected status: not found 

if use wrapper method, means exist starts during server startup , runs on background, , use bin/shutdown.sh, still logs same.

if use wrapper method , try shutdown app sudo java -jar start.jar shutdown --uri=xmldb:exist://[my ip]:8081/xmlrpc, still logs same. if don’t use static ip , use localhost instead, still logs same.

the 1 working method me ctrl-c, according @joewiz.

see "shutting down database" @ http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/deployment.xml#d2.2.5.8 specifying port:

java -jar start.jar shutdown --uri=xmldb:exist://localhost:8081/xmlrpc 

alternatively, use ctrl-c stop bin/startup.sh process.
