Description

Feature

Open the command palette and select the command Python: Stop Tensorboard.

Reasoning

I am often running close to the RAM limits of my machines that I use TensorFlow on. Sometimes it is enough to close the tensorboard server to have just enough RAM to complete my runs.

Workaround

Reloading the window shuts down the tensorboard server too, but it takes more time than just killing a process. Lately, I have been running the tensorboard server from the command line because it was easier to kill.

Research direction

Start by locating the VS Code command-palette registration for Python: Stop Tensorboard and the code that manages the Tensorboard server. Check how reloading the window currently stops the server, then define the command's completion behavior and verify that it frees the running server without requiring a window reload.
