To shut down but preserve the development environment so you can use it again later use `vagrant halt` or `vagrant suspend`. You can do this from the same Terminal/Git BASH window that is running run-dev by pressing ^C to halt the server and then typing `exit`. Or you can halt Vagrant from another Terminal/Git BASH window. From the window where run-dev is running: ```console 2016-05-04 18:33:13,330 INFO 127.0.0.1 GET 200 92ms /register/ (unauth@zulip via ?) ^C KeyboardInterrupt (zulip-py3-venv) vagrant@vagrant:/srv/zulip$ exit logout Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed. $ ``` Now you can suspend the development environment: ```console $ vagrant suspend ==> default: Saving VM state and suspending execution... ``` If `vagrant suspend` doesn't work, try `vagrant halt`: ```console $ vagrant halt ==> default: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM... ``` Check out the Vagrant documentation to learn more about [suspend](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/suspend.html) and [halt](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/cli/halt.html).
