Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2372

I haven't been able to find a command to stop the ollama service after running it with ollama run <model>. After a /bye command is called, the service is still running at localhost:11434. Only force quitting all ollama services from the activity monitor kills the service.

ollama run doesn't start the service. The service is started on login by the Ollama menu bar app. If you want to stop the service, quit the app. If you want to do it from the command line you can osascript -e 'tell app "Ollama" to quit'. If you don't quit the service the model will automatically be unloaded from memory after 5 minutes of inactivity.

The usual ways to exit ollama are working in the current release. Closing this issue but please reopen and update if issues persist.
