Stopping rails server doesn't kill process

Question

Every time I stop my rails server with CTRL-Z, the process keeps running and I always have to kill -9 it in order to start the server again.

How can I make sure that the process is killed when I stop the server?

ctrl+z => suspend the process, and `fg` to resume it. So try to send SIGINT signal(Ctrl +C / kill -2) — Prince John Wesley, Sep 07 '11 at 09:17

Oof, I feel very small (and dumb) right now. CTRl-C works fine. Thanks, saved me a lot of headaches. — Fred Fickleberry III, Sep 07 '11 at 09:36

Try to use ctrl+c to stop your server always so that there is no need for using kill -9 to kill the process

use CRTL + C short key to stop the rails server, than there will be no need to use kill 9 every time.
