Managing Lifecycle of nvdashboard

[aroraakshit]

Currently there is no way to close an existing nvdashboard process. I have tried multiple ways to close the process but it starts back up again automatically. I believe it is because of ioloop module by Tornado web server.

Please include a safe way to:

• Shut it down
• Restart it with a custom port

This will help manage nvdashboard server lifecycle in an independent way (as opposed to being tied to a default port).

Thanks for raising this. Could you share how you are starting the extension? Via Jupyter Lab or standalone?

[aroraakshit]

The extension is automatically started as part of RAPIDS NGC Container. So I assume within the container it is initiated with the jupyter lab.

Ok thanks. Do you have thoughts on what the most natural feeling way to restart and reconfigure would be?

[aroraakshit]

From a user experience point of view, a terminal command to restart nvdashboard (and an argument that specifies the new port) that can be executed inside the container where jupyter lab is running, would be great.
