How to stop ipfs daemon?(ctrl+c works only when you are inside daemon cmd prompt). Need solution to make it work from other cmd prompts as well

Just got started with ipfs. after we do $ipfs daemon and then i reach out to localhost:5001/webui (which shows connection refused. checked proxy and evrything). The daemon escapes the cmd, but still running in background. when we do $ipfs swarm peers. it gives "error: api not running"

click here to view the cmd

On macOS/Unix it would be killall ipfs, so maybe the equivalent taskkill command should suffice on Windows, which would (probably! I don't know anything about Windows) be taskkill /f /im ipfs, but maybe you should test it first without the /f (force) option.

As a sidenote: there's been some discussion in the ipfs realm about adding start and stop to the ipfs daemon command; but I don't know if and when it's going to be implemented.

It has been added; the command is ipfs shutdown
