What is the best way to stop a Unicorn Server process from running? Whenever I try to stop it using kill -p 90234 it does not work. It is most likely something I am doing wrong.
Thanks.

Unicorn is an HTTP server for Ruby, similar to Mongrel or Thin. It uses Mongrel's Ragel HTTP parser but has a dramatically different architecture and philosophy. In the classic setup you have nginx sending requests to a pool of mongrels using a smart balancer or a simple round robin.
Have a look at the Unicorn SIGNALS page. If the master is behaving correctly and you just want to turn it off, you should send a QUIT signal:
kill -QUIT 1234 # where 1234 is the real process id, of course That gracefully stops all the workers, letting them finish any requests that they're in the middle of serving.
