Create a script for process cleanup #47

Open raq929 opened 7 years ago

raq929 commented 7 years ago

Per @jrhorn424 The last few cohorts have sometimes run into issues with hanging processes, particularly in the rails-api series where we often have more than one rails server being started.

We'd like to have a script that will kill all ruby processes. Maybe rake clean?

Is this sufficient ❓ 

killall ruby
raq929 commented 7 years ago

Likely!

I'd like to show you some of the processes running on my machine. killall spring does not work for spring. I also have several ruby-related processes running that don't get killed with killall ruby and I'd like to know what they are.

spring runs in ruby, so killing ruby is the way to go. For some errant processes, killall may need the --signal option. Use with caution when KILL.

What kind of caution?

KILL is serious.

I just looked and the spring gem changes the process name to spring ... so you need to use killall -m '^spring' which will match the initial substring.
