Kill flume job

Hi all,

I'm playing with Flume for the first time, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding
something, but I can't find in the documentation any command to stop or
kill or a Flume job - other than shutting the whole machine down, which is
a bit of overkill when you're tinkering and changing things.

Can anyone enlighten me, please?

Thanks,
Charles

Also, flume will notice that you  changed the configuration file and will
reload itself with the changes.

Charles,

To kill the Flume job AND invoke the shutdown hooks for a clean shutdown,
use kill -HUP or kill -TERM. Any other signal will kill the JVM without
invoking the shutdown hooks.
