How to quit ASP.NET Kestrel web server on a Mac

I'm running a simple MVC app generated by Yeoman on my Mac using the ASP.NET vNext K runtime. I can run k kestrel from the project directory, and everything boots up and runs just fine. However, when I hit Ctrl+C (or any other key combination I've tried), the server doesn't quit. I have to close the terminal window to get the server to shut down. What am I missing?

If you have any processes open simply pressing "Enter" wont work on a mac. However if you use the example from UnraisedCesar and kill all your processes. Then restart the k kestrel you should be able to press "Enter" (if this is the only one of these processes running) and it will end properly.

If simply pressing Enter doesn't work for you, try the following in the terminal window where you're running Kestrel:

  1. Hit Ctrl + z to suspend the process.
  2. Type: kill %1.

It turns out that simply hitting "Enter" exits kestrel cleanly, without the need to kill the mono-sgen process afterward. There is a github issue on the Kestrel repo asking to make this more obvious.

Hit Ctrl+Z, then you will need to kill the mono-sgen process to be able to run 'k kestrel' again with the same IP:PORT (If someone knows a better way please let us know)

After "Ctrl+Z" type "ps" to list your processes and find the PID for "/Users/YOU/.kre/packages/KRE-mono45-x86.1.0.0-alpha4", for example: "123456", then type "kill 123456".

UPDATE: I tried to use 'killall mono-sgen' but doesn't works for me.
