Answer 3

pkill -9 rails to kill all the process of rails

Updated answer

ps aux|grep 'rails'|grep -v 'grep'|awk '{ print $2 }'|xargs kill -9

This will kill any running rails process. Replace 'rails' with something else to kill any other processes.

Answer 4

On rails 6 using

ps aux | grep rails was not returning the server process

I had to do

ps aux | grep puma

to find the actual process and then kill it using

kill -9 {process_id}

Remove file(server.pid) under Rails.root/tmp/pids/ and restart server.

open app in another port by using command:

rails s -p 3001
