couchdb: Shutdown the background process.

couchdb

$ couchdb -d

try on your machine

The command "couchdb -d" is used to start the CouchDB (Couchbase Server) daemon mode.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

"couchdb" is the executable or command that is used to run CouchDB. Depending on the installation and configuration, you may need to provide the full path to the executable, such as "/usr/local/bin/couchdb".
"-d" is an option or flag that is passed to the CouchDB command. In this case, it stands for "daemon" mode. When starting CouchDB with the "-d" flag, it runs as a background process or daemon, meaning it continues to run even after you close the terminal or log out of the system. This allows the CouchDB server to run continuously and serve requests without being tied to a specific user session.

By running CouchDB in daemon mode, you can rely on the server to be always active and available, ensuring continuous access to data and services provided by CouchDB.
