choosing Exit from the File menu on the server window.

Stop utility options
Connection parameters (–c) When stopping a network server, you must
supply a connection string with a user ID that has permissions to stop the
server. By default, DBA permission is required on the network server, and all
users can shut down a personal server, but the
-gk server command-line
option can be used to change this.
$ For a description of the connection parameters, see "Connection
parameters" on page 64 of the book ASA User’s Guide.
