I am running the SimpleHTTPServer from powershell.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

I want to exit (control + break) the server without closing the terminal. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

  • If you are using powershell 3, use the PSSession cmdlets to run it in a background, and control the parent process. – Eris Oct 09 '13 at 17:00

^C will close it (control + c)

Example of me testing control + c to send an interupt and exit:

PS C:\> python -m http.server 8080
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 ...

Keyboard interrupt received, exiting.

Note, I am using http.server as this replaces SimpleHTTPServer in Python 3 but it should work the same for you.
