I'm using Sphinx search server(version 'Sphinx 2.0.3-id64-release (r3043)' from http://sphinxsearch.com/) in my Rails app with thinking_sphinx gem. Sphinx starts automatically when I reboot and I can't stop it. I tried sudo searchd --stop but the process just respawns itself.

Stop (as manual start too) requires --config parameter.
If you start sphinx with command searchd --config=file, you can stop it with searchd --config=file --stop. Try to determine your start command argument.
P.S. Better late than never :)
You can also send a signal kill -9

Thank you. I'm not using it anymore but hope that helps somebody else. – RocketR – 2012-12-15T20:59:18.453

searchd expects signal TERM to be stopped. searchd --config /path/to/config --stop just sends TERM to the pid specified in 'pidfile' in the config. 'kill ' or 'killall searchd' will work as well.

killall searchdif it's started as a process, not as a service – Alex Pandrea – 2019-06-14T11:42:57.337
