title: Selenium 2: How to check that server is running and stop the server?
body: <p>With Selenium 1 there was the possibility to enter a URL to stop the server:</p>
  
  <p>http://:/selenium-server/driver/?cmd=shutDown</p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar way in Selenium 2?</p>
  
  <p>I tried the following URL to check whether the server is running:</p>
  
  <p>http://:/wd/hub/</p>
  
  <p>but that only returns an HTTP ERROR 503 (service unavailable).
  Is there any other URL I can access to verify that the server is running?</p>
