Stopping/Restarting Standalone Neo4J Community Edition 4.1.13

I'm running standalone Neo4J 4.1.13 (Community Edition) in a Docker container. I cannot figure out how to stop the DB so that I can load a dump file from another instance. I open a shell in the container and run cypher-shell (see below). But when I try to stop the database, I get an error.

What are the steps to stop the database? The docs for 4.1 are unclear.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Neo4j 4.1.13 Community Edition is some 2+ yrs old. any opportunity to upgrade to a more current release, i.e v5 ?

What are the steps to stop the database? The docs for 4.1 are unclear.

per Databases - Cypher Manual this indicates the STOP DATABASE is a enterprise only feature.

And perhaps 1 reason is Community only supports 1 user database ( i.e. neo4j ). So if you could stop 'neo4j' then that leaves you but 'system' and there is not much to do there. And at this point you would be no different than to simply stop the entire DBMS

Thanks for the input. Yes, it was as simple as stopping the container running Neo4J.
