Readynas212 - How do you stop or uninstall PLEX?

[steveTu]

How on earth do you stop plex (or uninstall it) on a ReadyNAS212 ?

If I try to stop it from the web based control, I get a window telling me that the action may take a few minutes. It just sites there. If I reload that web page the app is still shown to be running.

If I try to remove the app, this time the web control panel tells me the app has been removed, but it hasn't.

From ssh I see that the app restarts on failure - and the jounalctl shows this:

11 12:33:24 NAS212 readynasd[2157]: Failed to send message: No such file or directory
Feb 11 12:33:24 NAS212 readynasd[2157]: unit = fvapp-plexmediaserver-installer.service
Feb 11 12:33:24 NAS212 readynasd[2157]: Failed to call method KillUnit fvapp-plexmediaserver-installer.service: Invalid argument
Feb 11 12:33:24 NAS212 readynasd[2157]: Error from systemctl. rc=-1

I also see this (presumably from the uninstall):

[/lib/systemd/system/fvapp-plexmediaserver-annapurna.service:10] Invalid escape sequences in line, correcting: "/bin/sh -c ' PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_INFO_VENDOR=Netgear PLEX

steminfo | grep "<Firmware_Version>" | awk -F "[<>]" "{print \$3}")" /apps/plexmediaserver-annapurna/Binaries/Plex\ Media\ Server'"

Ok - not sure if this is the right way, but I logged onto the NAS using ssh and used systemctl to check the status of running services, then used it again to stop Plex and finally disable it.

systemctl status
systemctl stop fvapp-plexmediaserver-annapurna.service
systemctl disable fvapp-plexmediaserver-annapurna.service

...the web based control panel now shows its status as OFF - and hopefully it won't restart (until I ask it to!).
