This command stops one ore more services.
stop [ -h ] [ -P ] service...
This command expects to find an already running scandir and an already parsed service. If the state of the service is already down, the stop command does nothing but handles required-by dependency except when passing the -P option.
Multiple services can be stopped by separating their names with a space.
The 66 -t command option have no effect. 66 will detect automatically the associated tree of the service along its required-by dependencies.
In case of module service type, all services declared within the module will stop. The -P has no effect on the services within the module and only affects the module’s required-by dependencies.
This command handles interdependencies.
-h: prints this help.
-P: Do not handle services required-by dependencies. In such cases, the stop command will not attempt to stop the services that depend on the service, regardless of their current state.
Stop a service handling its required-by dependencies
66 stop foo
Stop the service without handling any dependencies
66 stop -P foo
Services within a module can also be managed independently. If you need to stop a particular service inside the module, specify the name of the module service followed by a colon : and the name of the service within the module
66 stop foo@foobar:foobaz
where foo@foobar is the name of the module service and foobaz the name of the service inside the module service.
You also can use the -P option to avoid handling the required-by dependencies of the service inside the module service
66 stop -P foo@foobar:foobaz
