killing Wagtail server

Question

I just installed wagtail on linode but havn't yet deployed it. I started it with

./manage.py runserver

But got out without stopping the server and help isn't showing how to stop the server. I want to restart it on 0.0.0.0:8000. Do I just reboot linode server? All suggestions are welcome.

Answer 1

Killing the wagtail server will stop it. Search the PID for your wagtail:

ps aux | grep "manage.py runserver"

You'll get a response like this:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
[...]
user        38  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        S     2433   0:00 python manage.py runserver 0:8000

Then kill it by using:

# Terminate running process    
kill -9 38

Then you can restart as you want
