How do I stop a program on AmazonAWS?

Question

I am using AmazonAWS server to run my application. To start the application I am using:

RACK_BASE_URI=/project bundle exec rackup -D

To stop the application I am using:

ps -ef|grep <port>
pkill <pid>

Even then the application is running. Can anyone tell me how to stop the application?

`kill -9 ` doesn't work either? – Yevgeniy Anfilofyev Jun 18 '13 at 05:52 — Yevgeniy Anfilofyev, Jun 18 '13 at 05:52

The first and second comments to the question says that `kill -9 ` didn't work. Why would `kill ` work without the `kill` signal? `9 = KILL (non-catchable, non-ignorable kill)` – the Tin Man Jun 18 '13 at 07:43
