Yu can see the id of the ruby process:

ps aux | grep ruby
username       17731   0.1  1.6  3127008  67996   ??  S     2:00PM   0:01.42 /Users/username/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby script/rails s -d

and kill process by id:

kill -9 17731

You can use pgrep ruby with kill -9:

kill -9 `pgrep ruby`
