💅 LIGHTNING-STOP(7) — bestie's guide to the stop page 🛑✨

okay so this is lightning-stop, aka page 7 of the Core Lightning manual, and honestly? it's a short one. we love a concise queen. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

stop — the command that shuts down your Core Lightning node. like, actually turns it off. no cap. 🔌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stop

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. iconic minimalist behaviour tbh. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so stop is an RPC command whose entire personality is shutting off the Core Lightning node. that's the job. that's the whole vibe. it does not do anything else, and we respect it for that. 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

when it works (and it's giving main character energy when it works), you get back an object. here's the tea:

  • result (string) — always the string "Shutdown complete". always. it's not negotiable, it's not customizable, it's a fixed line and it knows it. (added in v24.05, so if you're on something older, surprise, this field wasn't a thing yet 😭)

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Example 1:

Request:

$ lightning-cli stop
{
  "id": "example:stop#1",
  "method": "stop",
  "params": {}
}

Response:

{
  "result": "Shutdown complete"
}

see? clean. params is literally an empty object and the response is literally one line. flawless. 🌈
