How can i close siad with siac (windows), without crashing or corrupting the database?
The following is relevant to linux. 'cmd' tool in windows may enable similar results.
'siac' is a file name in linux, 'stop' is the command for 'siac'. This (and similar commands) need to be run
from the directory this file resides in.
./siac stop
Stopping the 'siad' this way should save the blockchain database in a few minutes. Unfortunately there is no 'progress indication' of either saving the database was completed or not. The following command can be used to see if 'siad' processes terminated. No output should mean the 'siad' process stopped and the database was saved.
ps aux | grep siad
Disclaimer: The 'ps aux | grep siad' was not tested.
