+You can configure a port number for Jetty to listen on for a stop command, so you are able to stop it from a different terminal.
 This requires the use of a "secret" key, to prevent malicious or accidental termination.
 Use the `--stop-port` and `--stop-key` (or `-DSTOP.PORT=`  and `-DSTOP.KEY=`, respectively) parameters as arguments to the `jetty-runner`:

+You can configure a port number for Jetty to listen on for a stop command, so you are able to stop it from a different terminal.
+This requires the use of a "secret" key, to prevent malicious or accidental termination.
+Use the `STOP.PORT` and `STOP.KEY` (or `-DSTOP.PORT=` and `-DSTOP.KEY=`, respectively, which will set these as system parameters) parameters as arguments to the `start.jar`:

+Then, to stop Jetty from a different terminal, you need to supply this port and key information.
+You can either use a copy of the Jetty distribution, the link:#jetty-maven-plugin[jetty-maven-plugin], the link:#jetty-ant[jetty-ant plugin], or a custom class to accomplish this.
+Here's how to use the Jetty distribution, leveraging `start.jar`, to perform a stop:

+[source, screen, subs="{sub-order}"]
+....
+> java -jar start.jar STOP.PORT=8181 STOP.KEY=abc123 --stop

+[NOTE]
+To perform a graceful shutdown of Jetty, the `stats` link:#startup-modules[module] *must* be enabled.
