Hey yall! Is there a bash command I can run to kill the pants daemon in a general way? Just creating a

make

command to nuke my repo for a clean restart.

just

killall pantsd

I always get “No matching processes belonging to you were found”

Yeah, the name of the process is

pantsd [/path/to/repo]

oh, mac 🙂

killall has

-m

which lets you regex-match the process name

here, this worked

PANTSD_PID=$(ps ax | grep -e "pantsd \[" | cut -d' ' -f1); [ -z "$PANTSD_PID" ] || kill $PANTSD_PID

this worked too

pkill -f "pantsd.*"

edit:

pkill -f "pantsd.*" || echo "Pantsd process was not running."

so it doesn’t fail in makefile if not running
