Stopping the Motion Service

Steps

1. Find the motion process:

   Execute the following command to find the motion process.

   ps aux | grep motion | grep -v grep

   Note the process ID (PID) of the motion service.

2. Kill the motion process:

   Use the kill command with sudo to stop the process. Replace <PID> with the process ID you found.

   sudo kill <PID>

   If a stronger force is necessary:

   sudo kill -9 <PID>

3. Verify that the motion process has stopped:

   Run the command again to check if the motion service is still active.

   ps aux | grep motion | grep -v grep

   If there is no output, the motion service has stopped successfully.

Notes

• Make sure you have the necessary permissions to run these commands.
• Replace <PID> with the actual PID of the motion process.
