Stopping the TFTP server

To terminate the TFTP server, send a SIGTERM signal using the UNIX kill command to the oldest existing TFTP process. This is the process with a parent process ID of 1. Termination of this process will cause all of its children to terminate.

If multiple instances of the TFTP server are running, to determine the pid and its corresponding start options for each instance of the TFTP server, invoke the following UNIX command:

ps -o pid,ppid,args

Terminate an instance of the TFTP server using the UNIX kill command with the appropriate pid.
