How do I stop jetty server in clojure?

clojure jetty ring

I am writing a web application using ring and clojure. I am using the jetty adapter for the development server and emacs/SLIME for IDE. While wrap-reload does help, run-jetty blocks my slime session and I would like to be able to start/stop it at will without having to run it in a separate terminal session. Ideally, I would like to define a server agent and functions start-server and stop-server that would start/stop the server inside the agent. Is this possible?

I usually have a line in my Ring app that looks like the following:

(defonce server (run-jetty #'my-app {:port 8080 :join? false}))

This prevents locking up the REPL. It also allows me to recompile this file without worrying that my server will get redefined. It also lets you interact at the REPL like so:

user=> (.stop server)

and

user=> (.start server)
