The TTL monitor is a background task responsible for automatically removing documents from a collection after a user-defined expiration period.

The TTL monitor can currently be stopped by setting the internal server parameter ttlMonitorEnabled to false (this is a startup and runtime parameter).

The objective is to develop and implement a dedicated, user-executable command that allows to stop the TTL monitor. This will provide a more direct and standardized interface for controlling this background task, rather than relying on direct manipulation of server parameters.

Note: this is a first step for "Background Tasks Don’t Impact Goodput" stream of work.
