How to stop celery worker process

Question

I have a Django project on an Ubuntu EC2 node, which I have been using to set up an asynchronous using Celery.

I am following this along with the docs.

Answer 1

Try this in terminal

ps aux|grep 'celery worker'

You will see like this

username  29042  0.0  0.6  23216 14356 pts/1    S+   00:18   0:01 /bin/celery worker ...

Then kill process id by

sudo kill -9 process_id # here 29042

If you have multiple processes, then you have to kill all process id using above kill commmand

sudo kill -9 id1 id2 id3 ...

From the celery doc

ps auxww | grep 'celery worker' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

OR if you are running celeryd

ps auxww | grep celeryd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

Note

If you are running celery in supervisor, even though kill the process, it automatically restarts(if autorestart=True in supervisor script).
