Updating Packaged Server Install Trilium without Reboot

[joshcsullivan]

Quick Question, how does one update the trilium packaged server install without rebooting?

Previously I had Trilium installed on a DigitalOcean droplet, so it was fine to reboot the VPS after every update. I've now installed it on my Synology and went to upgrade to 0.40.6, therefore I do not want to reboot. So I went to kill the PID, which I confirmed killed the trilium.sh process. Unfortunately, when I checked the version in Menu > About Trilium Notes, I still see 0.40.3.

I am using the nohup ./trilium.sh & command to run trilium if that makes any difference.

Therefore, how does one correctly terminate the trilium process to update to the new version without restarting?

I just do killall node but that's safe only if you have trilium as the only running node application.

Otherwise there's no magic involved, you just need to find the correct process and terminate it.
