I recently updated ollama, and it now installs a systemd service that I was not expecting. Seems like a great option, but I hadn't expeted this and I was able to kill it previously. It was using up gpu, and I do other things on my machine with a gpu. I tried pkill, kill, and everything, it was still coming back.
No matter what it comes back
# stop it
systemctl stop ollama.service
disable it if you want #
systemctl disable ollama.service
confirm its status #
systemctl status ollama.service
You can confirm this with the following command.
# checking running processes
ps aux | grep ollama
pgrep ollama
checking gpu processes #
gpustat --show-cmd --show-pid
Next time you want to start you can do it as before with ollama serve.
