    Occasionally to address problems programs need to be halted, FA and FR24 appear easy enough to halt but I am a bit unsure of ADSBx - not even sure if there is a feed log.

    What is the best way to temporarily halt ADSBx? I'm not sure if the script files in the home directory automatically restart it if connection lost or is that for reboot purposes?

    Just let it run.

    sudo pkill adsbexchange

    This command should work.
    To restart the feed you'll need to reboot.

    They don't use systemd or other service integration which makes logging and restarting near impossible.
    I've sent a pull request, but it seems James hasn't found time to look at it.

    That is handy, I never knew about 'p'kill, always searched for PID using ps -A then piped to grep

    Useful command, thanks.
