title: How to stop Jenkins installed on Mac Snow Leopard?
body: <p>I have installed Jenkins executable on OSX, but now I want to stop it running. Whenever I kill it, no matter how, it just restarts immediately.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using the exit command on the jenkins url:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/exit
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which asks me to post the command, which I do, and the server shuts down as requested. <em>But then it restarts.</em></p>
  
  <p>I've tried searching for the process id using <code>ps</code>, and force killing it (<code>kill -9 pid</code>), and the server shuts down immediately, as requested. <em>But then it restarts.</em></p>
  
  <p>I've tried shutting it down via the gui, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.</p>
  
  <p>There must be a daemon somewhere, making this a general OSX question. </p>
