Hi
I have a problem with the server. I want to start the server in the background from R (which works) and kill it after I have generated a few graphs (which I do not manage).
The problem is to get the pid of the PicoWeb Server to kill it. Standard R functions do return the wrong one (one to low), or when the port is open, and I resort to using `ups -I` to list all Java processes, and to identify which one has been launched.
Now I am wondering - would it be possible to return in the server info the pid as well? It seems to be (please keep in mind I an NOT a programmer apart from R and definitely not Java) possible to get the pid from within the running java process (

Another possibility (probably cleaner) would be an endpoint which stops the PicoWeb Server (e.g. localhost:8000/stopserver).
Thanks,
Rainer
