# tsm stop

You can use the `tsm stop` command to stop Tableau Server. If Tableau Server is already stopped, this command does nothing.

### Synopsis

`tsm stop [option] [global options]`

### Options

\--ignore-node-status <nodeID>

Optional.

Ignore the status for the specified node or nodes when determining if the server has stopped. Useful if removing a bad node. Separate multiple nodes with commas.

For example, if nodes 2, 3 and 5 are not properly responding: `tsm stop --ignore-node-status node2,node3,node5`

**Note:** Option added in version 2020.1

\--request-timeout <timeout in seconds>

Optional.

Wait the specified amount of time for the command to finish. Default value is 1800 (30 minutes).

## Global options

\-h, --help

Optional.

Show the command help.

\-p, --password <password>

Required, along with `-u` or `--username` if no session is active.

Specify the password for the user specified in `-u` or `--username`.

If the password includes spaces or special characters, enclose it in quotes:

`--password "my password"`

\-s, --server https://<hostname>:8850

Optional.

Use the specified address for Tableau Services Manager. The URL must start with `https`, include port 8850, and use the server name not the IP address. For example `https://<tsm_hostname>:8850`. If no server is specified, `https://<localhost | dnsname>:8850` is assumed.

\--trust-admin-controller-cert

Optional.

Use this flag to trust the self-signed certificate on the TSM controller. For more information about certificate trust and CLI connections, see [Connecting TSM clients](https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/tsm_overview.htm#Connecti).

\-u, --username <user>

Required if no session is active, along with `-p` or `--password`.

Specify a user account. If you do not include this option, the command is run using credentials you signed in with.
