How To Stop Presto

If you are using the presto-admin tool this is how to stop Presto safely:

$ presto-admin server stop

In addition these commands are also useful:

presto-admin server start
presto-admin server restart
presto-admin server status

If you are using Presto on EMR, you can EMR restart Presto with:

sudo stop presto
sudo start presto

(If you have changed any configuration params you should do this on every node where you made a change).

The above “How To Stop Presto” information is correct for PrestoDB. But other “hard forks” of Presto may use different methods to stop and start.
