# /asciinema-tools:daemon-stop

Stop the asciinema chunker daemon via launchd.

## Execution

### Check if Running

```bash

/usr/bin/env bash << 'CHECK_EOF'

PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if ! [[ -f "$PLIST_PATH" ]]; then

echo "Daemon not installed."

exit 0

fi

if ! launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then

echo "Daemon not running."

exit 0

fi

echo "RUNNING"

CHECK_EOF

```

### Stop Daemon

```bash

/usr/bin/env bash << 'STOP_EOF'

PLIST_PATH="$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/com.cc-skills.asciinema-chunker.plist"

if launchctl unload "$PLIST_PATH"; then

echo "Daemon stopped"

# Verify

sleep 1

if launchctl list 2>/dev/null | grep -q "asciinema-chunker"; then

echo "WARNING: Daemon may still be running"

else

echo "Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running"

fi

else

echo "ERROR: Failed to stop daemon"

exit 1

fi

STOP_EOF

```

## Output

On success:

```

Daemon stopped

Confirmed: Daemon is no longer running

```

## Notes

- Stopping the daemon does NOT delete credentials from Keychain

- To restart: `/asciinema-tools:daemon-start`

- The daemon will NOT auto-start on next login until started again

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Cause | Solution |

| ----------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ |

| Failed to stop daemon | Launchd error | Try `launchctl unload -F <plist-path>` |

| Daemon still running | Multiple instances | Kill manually: `pkill -f asciinema-chunker` |

| Can't find plist | Setup not run | Run `/asciinema-tools:daemon-setup` first |

| Recordings not stopping | asciinema rec is running | Exit recording shell first (Ctrl-D or type exit) |
