Non-technical users will have a hard time stopping Raiden

[ulope]

The Raiden instance launched from the wizard is hard to stop for non technically / terminal savvy users.

We could add a "stop raiden" RPC endpoint add a way to call it to the WebUI.

We would need to think about the security implications of adding a stop endpoint.

But even just via normal OS process tools should be realatively easy.

We would need to think about the security implications of adding a stop endpoint.

We have endpoints to send tokens around. I don't think the stop end point is any more security critical.

True, but Jacob and I were thinking about the publicly hosted test / workshop nodes for example. It's no big problem if their channels get drained but shutting them down continually makes them unusable with very little effort on an attackers part.

create a follow up issue for the web UI button

[Dominik1999]

raiden-network/raiden#6113 is done now, we can inlcude a shut down button into the WebUI.

Can you implement that @manuelwedler ? @christianbrb ?

[manuelwedler]

Yes sure. I created an issue in the webui repo: raiden-network/webui#389
I will align with @sashseurat on it.

[Dominik1999]

Closing this issue, since we have an issue in the WebUI now
