How do you stop a perl Dancer/Starman/Plack server?

Question

I started a Dancer/Starman server using:

sudo plackup -s Starman -p 5001 -E deployment --workers=10 -a mywebapp/bin/app.pl

but I'm unsure how I can stop the server. Can someone provide me with a quick way of stopping it and all the workers it has spawned?

Answer 1

Use the

--pid /path/to/the/pid.file

and you can kill the process based on his PID

So, using the above options, you can use

kill $(cat /path/to/the/pid.file)

the pid.file simply stores the master's PID - don't need analyze the ps output...

Answer 2

pkill -f starman

Kill processes based on name.
