Starting SonarQube

  • Linux: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start

  • macOS: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/macosx-universal-64/sonar.sh start

  • Windows: Execute <sonarqubeHome>\bin\windows-x86-64\StartSonar.bat

The "SonarQube is operational" message is displayed once the startup has successfully completed.

Stopping SonarQube gracefully

  • Linux: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop

  • macOS: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/macosx-universal-64/sonar.sh stop

  • Windows: There’s a similar stop functionality in the Windows script, but it might be a bit less explicit. You can often stop it by running sonar.sh stop from the command line.

Stop does a graceful shutdown where no new analysis report processing can start, but the tasks in progress are allowed to finish. The time a stop will take depends on the processing time of the tasks in progress.

Hard-stopping SonarQube

  • Linux: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh force-stop

  • macOS: Execute <sonarqubeHome>/bin/macosx-universal-64/sonar.sh force-stop

  • Windows: A "force-stop" might not be directly available. Stopping the process via Windows Task Manager or similar tools could be considered a hard stop.
