Stopping Broker Server Using the broker_stop Command
If you want to stop a Broker Server from the command line, use the broker_stop command-line utility.
The broker_stop utility functions as an admin client and issues the stop request to the Broker Server through the network. If the Broker Server is protected by an access control list (ACL), you must include identity parameters that identify you as an authorized administrator of the Broker Server.
