Puma Hunter

Hunts down and kills loose Puma Rails server processes.

Build

You only need to run this once.

# Terminal
mkdir ~/bin
if [ ! -e ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh ]; then
  echo "#! /bin/sh" > ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh
  echo "kill -9 \$(lsof -i tcp:3000 -t)" >> ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh
  chmod +x ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh
fi

Run

If you'd like to just run the script right now, you can do this.

# Terminal
~/bin/puma_hunter.sh

Install

You don't have to "install" this if you don't want to. You can keep running it with ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh (or puma_hunter.sh if ~/bin is already on your PATH).

But if you do install it, like so:

# Terminal
cp ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh /usr/local/bin/

Then running it becomes simply this:

# Terminal
puma_hunter.sh

This will probably also work with puma_h<tab> if you've got autocomplete setup correctly in your Terminal.

Uninstall

If you don't appreciate installing some strange code on your computer, then you can do this.

# Terminal
rm -i /usr/local/bin/puma_hunter.sh ~/bin/puma_hunter.sh
