My first intention was to use "wget --remove-after" with > /dev/null 2>&1, but in case the server is not running, the build fails.
I hope someone could tell me a more suitable command than wget (this can't be so hard, but it seems like I'm searching for the wrong terms) and then maybe I can figure out a way how to deal with the error.
If your wget command works when the server is running, then you could include it in an if condition to check first if the server is available, for example checking the ip : port combination. If the server is up, it would be shut down by the command and if it's not up then the build would continue.
