I was running some commands that I later found out had left me with many orphaned ruby processes. Too many to kill one by one. I needed to just get rid of them all and quickly so killing all ruby processes was the best way to go. Here is a short list of convenient and inconvenient ways to do that: for each in `ps -eo pid,command | grep ruby | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' `; do kill -9 $each;done killall −9 ruby pkill -9 ruby pidof ruby | xargs kill -9 ps aux | grep sidekiq | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill The easiest commands and best suggestions were brought to my attention by Alan Bailward and Gavin Mogan.

As soon as the MacBook Air (Mid 2013) started shipping; reports began flooding in about intermittant wifi connectivity problems.[1] The day after it was released I ordered it.

Using: nginx version: nginx/1.2.4 I manage a few Linode instances as client servers but I would far from consider myself a sysadmin. I received an email from a client regarding some uploading issues. After some testing I concluded any combination of files over 1mb would raise Nginx 413 Request Entity Too Large I upped the file limit within the virtualhost file by changing the client_max_body_size upstream app { server unix:/tmp/app.sock fail_timeout=0; } server { listen 80; location / { proxy_pass http://app; proxy_redirect off; client_max_body_size 6m; } } This still did not work.
