Run Commands in mongosh¶
The MongoDB Shell (mongosh) is currently available as a Beta
release. The product, its features, and the corresponding
documentation may change during the Beta stage.
For documentation of basic MongoDB operations in mongosh, see:
Terminate a Running Command¶
To terminate a running command or query in mongosh,
press Ctrl + C.
Ctrl + C terminates the process in the shell, but does not
terminate the process on the MongoDB server. This behavior
differs from the db.killOp method, which terminates
commands on the server.
Command Exceptions¶
In scenarios where the output of a command includes { ok: 0 },
mongosh throws an exception and does not return the raw output from
the server.
In the legacy mongo shell, when a command's output included {
ok: 0 }, the behavior differs between commands. mongosh
provides consistent behavior by always throwing an exception in these
scenarios.
