Answer 1

In the terminal, I used: $ sudo killall -9 node (this kills all running node jobs)

Answer 2

I use this command:

kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | awk '{print $1}'`

Or, I run this if I'm on my local machine to kill remote processes:

ssh [user]@[server] <<'ENDSSH'
kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | awk '{print $1}'`
exit
ENDSSH

Answer 3

When you are looking at the terminal with the unwanted meteor running just press Ctrl+C to turn off meteor.

To run more applications side by side run on a different port with the --port option

Answer 4

Actually, kill -9 kills meteor immediately, which is not a good idea. It's an emergency feature and should be applied only when regular kill (no signal specified) fails, as it prevents processes from running shutdown procedures.

Answer 5

On OSX, go back to the term you opened to start meteor, and use CTRL+C to quit the process.

Better to use a command like:

kill -9 `ps ax | grep node | grep meteor | grep -v atom | awk '{print $1}'`
