When I try to start a server via rails s, I get the following error message:

C:\Users\Frankie\Documents\stocktracker>rails s
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.8 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

ids/server.pid.
Exiting

The number listed in server.pid is 8436.

How do I manually kill this process? How can I easily kill all webrick servers currently running?
