Is there a way to kill uvicorn cleanly?
I.e., I can type ^C at it, if it is running in the foreground on a terminal. This causes the uvivorn process to die and all of the worker processes to be cleaned up. (I.e., they go away.)
On the other hand, if uvicorn is running in the background without a terminal, then I can't figure out a way to kill it cleanly. It seems to ignore SIGTERM, SIGINT, and SIGHUP. I can kill it with SIGKILL (i.e. -9), but then the worker processes remain alive, and I have to track all the worker processes down and kill them too. This is not ideal.
I am using uvicorn with CPython 3.7.4, uvivorn version 0.11.2, and FastAPI 0.46.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.3 (Maipo).
That's because you're running uvicorn as your only server. uvicorn is not a process manager and, as so, it does not manage its workers life cycle. That's why they recommend running uvicorn using gunicorn+UvicornWorker for production.
That said, you can kill the spawned workers and trigger it's shutdown using the script below:
$ kill $(pgrep -P $uvicorn_pid)
The reason why this works but not the kill on the parent pid is because when you ^C something, the signal is transmitted throughout all of its spawned processes that are attached to the stdin.
lsof -i :8000
This will check processes using port :8000. If you are using different port for fastAPI then change the port number. I was using postman and python for fastAPI. So check process with python, then copy the PID usually 4-5 numbers.
Then run
kill -9 PID
Where PID is the PID number you copied
Your can try running below command
kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep uvicorn | awk '{print $2}')
or
Create and Alias with the command and keep using that command.
For example:
alias uvicornprocess="kill -9 $(ps -ef | grep uvicorn | awk '{print $2}')"
In my case uvicorn managed to spawn new processes while pgrep -P was killing old ones,
so I decided to kill the whole process group at once, just like ^C does:
PID="$(pgrep -f example:app)"
if [[ -n "$PID" ]]
then
PGID="$(ps --no-headers -p $PID -o pgid)"
kill -SIGINT -- -${PGID// /}
fi
Each line explained:
pgrep -f example:app gets the PID of the parent uvicorn ... example:app
[[ -n "$PID" ]] checks this PID is not empty, to avoid further steps when uvicorn is not running
ps --no-headers -p $PID -o pgid gets PGID (Process Group ID) this PID is part of
kill -SIGINT is similar to polite ^C (you may use kill -9 for non-polite instant kill)
-- means the next token is a positional argument, not a named option, even if it starts with -
-${PGID - negative value lets kill know it is PGID, not PID
${PGID// /} removes all spaces ps added to PGID to align a column

I am trying to kill a process which I ran in back ground not I want to cancel it using a command line. Below is the command I am using but I am getting error "Operation not permitted".
ps -aef | grep gs_roach | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -2
At first, 2 is SIGINT. SIGINT is the interrupt signal. The terminal sends it to the foreground process when the user presses ctrl-c.
Secondly, you do now own the process you are trying to kill. This is the reason for both ps output —which did not list process — and the sudo requirement to kill the process.
You can use ps -aux to list all processes including those you don't own. You can also use -p argument to show a specific process which best fit your need
If you need to kill a process;
try kill command with with -9 signal
if the following command does not work
sudo kill PROCESS_ID
try to use the following command:
sudo kill -9 PROCESS_ID
or try to use the following command:
sudo kill -s SIGKILL PROCESS_ID

I want to kill python interpeter - The intention is that all the python files that are running in this moment will stop (without any informantion about this files).
obviously the processes should be closed.
Any idea as delete files in python or destroy the interpeter is ok :D (I am working with virtual machine).
I need it from the terminal because i write c code and i use linux commands...
Hope for help
pkill -9 python
should kill any running python process.
There's a rather crude way of doing this, but be careful because first, this relies on python interpreter process identifying themselves as python, and second, it has the concomitant effect of also killing any other processes identified by that name.
In short, you can kill all python interpreters by typing this into your shell (make sure you read the caveats above!):
ps aux | grep python | grep -v "grep python" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
To break this down, this is how it works. The first bit, ps aux | grep python | grep -v "grep python", gets the list of all processes calling themselves python, with the grep -v making sure that the grep command you just ran isn't also included in the output. Next, we use awk to get the second column of the output, which has the process ID's. Finally, these processes are all (rather unceremoniously) killed by supplying each of them with kill -9.
pkill with script path
pkill -9 -f path/to/my_script.py
is a short and selective method that is more likely to only kill the interpreter running a given script.
See also: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/31107/linux-kill-process-based-on-arguments
You can try the killall command:
killall python
pgrep -f <your process name> | xargs kill -9
This will kill the your process service.
In my case it is
pgrep -f python | xargs kill -9
pgrep -f youAppFile.py | xargs kill -9
pgrep returns the PID of the specific file will only kill the specific application.
If you want to show the name of processes and kill them by the command of the kill, I recommended using this script to kill all python3 running process and set your ram memory free :
ps auxww | grep 'python3' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
to kill python script while using ubuntu 20.04.2 intead of Ctrl + C just push together
Ctrl + D
I have seen the pkill command as the top answer. While that is all great, I still try to tread carefully (since, I might be risking my machine whilst killing processes) and follow the below approach:
First list all the python processes using:
$ ps -ef | grep python
Just to have a look at what root user processes were running beforehand and to cross-check later, if they are still running (after I'm done! :D)
then using pgrep as :
$ pgrep -u <username> python -d ' ' #this gets me all the python processes running for user username
# eg output:
11265 11457 11722 11723 11724 11725
And finally, I kill these processes by using the kill command after cross-checking with the output of ps -ef| ...
kill -9 PID1 PID2 PID3 ...
# example
kill -9 11265 11457 11722 11723 11724 11725
Also, we can cross check the root PIDs by using :
pgrep -u root python -d ' '
and verifying with the output from ps -ef| ...
I am starting my script locally via:
sudo python run.py remote
This script happens to also open a subprocess (if that matters)
webcam = subprocess.Popen('avconv -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -r 20 -i /dev/video0 -an -metadata title="OfficeBot" -f flv rtmp://6f7528a4.fme.bambuser.com/b-fme/xxx', shell = True)
I want to know how to terminate this script when I SSH in.
I understand I can do:
sudo pkill -f "python run.py remote"
or use:
ps -f -C python
to find the process ID and kill it that way.
However none of these gracefully kill the process, I want to able to trigger the equilivent of CTRL/CMD C to register an exit command (I do lots of things on shutdown that aren't triggered when the process is simply killed).
Thank you!
You should use "signals" for it:
http://docs.python.org/2/library/signal.html
Example:
import signal, os
def handler(signum, frame):
print 'Signal handler called with signal', signum
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, handler)
#do your stuff
then in terminal:
kill -INT $PID
or ctrl+c if your script is active in current shell
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_signal
also this might be useful:
How do you create a daemon in Python?
You can use signals for communicating with your process. If you want to emulate CTRL-C the signal is SIGINT (which you can raise by kill -INT and process id. You can also modify the behavior for SIGTERM which would make your program shut down cleanly under a broader range of circumstances.
I used nohup python *.py & to run my tornado web service, and 8 processes started.
.
However, it is really annoying killing my tornado processes. I have to ues kill -3 pid 8 times to finally turn down my service. So I want to know how can I kill the 8 processes at one time in my bash? Thanks.
I tried killall python, but it is dangerous when there is other python process running.
#Viktor suggest me to use pkill -P <parent> and it works in my Ubuntu. But in Centos, 'pkill' doesn't work. So how can I 'pkill' the processes in Centos? Thanks.
This depends on your environment a bit.
But you may want to look into pkill -P <parent>, which kills everything with the same parent pid.
Maybe :
ps aux | grep -e 'python spam.py' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -i kill {}
Killing the parent process, that is the one with smallest PID should do the job, like kill -15 18054 in your ps example. Also, you could do some grep magic, like:
for i in `ps waux | grep "python spam.py" | awk '{ print $2 }'`; do kill -15 ${i}; done
I'm working on a Django website where I have various compilation programs that need to run (Compass/Sass, coffeescript, hamlpy), so I made this shell script for convenience:
#!/bin/bash
SITE=/home/dev/sites/rmx
echo "RMX using siteroot=$SITE"
$SITE/rmx/manage.py runserver &
PIDS[0]=$!
compass watch $SITE/media/compass/ &
PIDS[1]=$!
coffee -o $SITE/media/js -cw $SITE/media/coffee &
PIDS[2]=$!
hamlpy-watcher $SITE/templates/hamlpy $SITE/templates/templates &
PIDS[3]=$!
trap "echo PIDS: ${PIDS[*]} && kill ${PIDS[*]}" SIGINT
wait
Everything except for the Django server shuts down nicely on a ctrl+c because the PID of the server process isn't the PID of the python manage.py runserver command. Which means everytime I stop the script, I have to find the running process PID and shut it down.
Here's an example:
$> ./compile.sh
RMX using siteroot....
...
[ctrl+c]
PIDS: 29725 29726 29728 29729
$> ps -A | grep python
29732 pts/2 00:00:00 python
The first PID, 29725, is the initial python manage.py runserver call, but 29732 is the actual dev server process.
edit Looks like this is due to Django's auto-reload feature which can be disabled with the --noreload flag. Since I'd like to keep the auto reload feature, the question now becomes how to kill the child processes from the bash script. I would think killing the initial python runserver command would do it...
SOLVED
Thanks to this SO question, I've changed my script to this:
#!/bin/bash
SITE=/home/dev/sites/rmx
echo "RMX using siteroot=$SITE"
$SITE/rmx/manage.py runserver &
compass watch $SITE/media/compass/ &
coffee -o $SITE/media/js -cw $SITE/media/coffee &
hamlpy-watcher $SITE/templates/hamlpy $SITE/templates/templates &
trap "kill -TERM -$$" SIGINT
wait
PIDs preceded with the dash operate on the PID group with the kill command, and the $$ references the PID of the bash script itself.
Thanks for the help, me!
No problem, self, and hey -- you're awesome.
You can execute this to kill or process and servers, you set PORT number:
$ netstat -tulpn | grep PORT | awk '{print $7}' | cut -d/ -f 1 | xargs kill
OR
$ sudo lsof -i tcp:PORT
$ sudo lsof -i tcp:PORT|awk '{print $2}'|cut -d/ -f 1|xargs kill
