Answer 1

one-liner:  kill -INT `ps -e | grep ruby | awk '{print $1}'`

ps -e lists every process on the system
grep ruby searches that output for the ruby process
awk passes the first argument of that output (the pid) to kill -INT.

Try it with echo instead of kill if you just want to see the PID.
