Paster cannot stop daemon

Question

I'm using the following command in my pylons app in an attempt to stop the daemon on the server:

paster serve --daemon dev.ini stop

This is the error I get:

No PID file exists in paster.pid
Could not stop daemon; aborting

Wondering how I can stop this daemon so I can reload dev.ini.

Thanks!

kill the process.

No, honestly. kill [processnumber] That's what you do. – Lennart Regebro Oct 02 '09 at 06:25
Surely not! I have the same problem, and I am trying to automate it... I'm going to ask a more detailed question to see if I can get to the root cause. – Oddthinking Jun 24 '11 at 03:57
