Kill All Spring Processes
If you’re an active Rails user in multiple projects like me, you’ll
probably would’ve noticed that at some point, you forgot to turn off
spring in those projects. I wouldn’t
blame you if you haven’t noticed, because it supposed to just work in the
background. ps aux | grep spring | grep -v grep now to check which
spring processes are running:
$ ps aux | grep spring | grep -v spring

In a Rails project, I put this code in scripts/kill_spring file
!/usr/bin/env bash
ps aux | grep spring | grep -v 'grep' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs killSave the file, chmod +x scripts/kill_spring and now all it takes to kill them all is scripts/kill_spring.
You can also choose to add this somewhere in PATH as well so you could execute from anywhere in the terminal.
