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.
