Question

I am trying out gunicorn, and I installed it inside a virtualenv with a django site. I got gunicorn running with this command:

gunicorn_django -b 127.0.0.1:9000

Which is all well and good. I haven’t setup a bash script or hooked it to upstart (I am on Ubuntu) yet, because I am testing it out.

Meantime, my connection to the server was broken, and thus I lost the console, and I can no longer do CTRL + C to stop the server after reconnecting.

How do I stop gunicorn_django, when it is already running?

Answer 1

The general solution to problems like this is to do ps ax|grep gunicorn to look for the relevant process, then do kill xxxx where xxxx is the number in the first column.
