[Django]-How to stop celery worker process

by

✅

Try this in terminal

ps aux|grep 'celery worker'

You will see like this 

username  29042  0.0  0.6  23216 14356 pts/1    S+   00:18   0:01 /bin/celery worker ...

Then kill process id by

sudo kill -9 process_id # here 29042

If you have multiple processes, then you have to kill all process id using above kill commmand

sudo kill -9 id1 id2 id3 ...

From the celery doc

ps auxww | grep 'celery worker' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

OR if you are running celeryd

ps auxww | grep celeryd | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

Note

If you are running celery in supervisor, even though kill the process, it automatically restarts(if autorestart=True in supervisor script).

If the celery worker is running on a machine you do not have access to, you can use Celery "remote control" to control workers through messages sent via the broker.

celery control shutdown

This will kill all workers immediately. Depending on your setup, you might have to use -A myProject, like with Django.

ps auxww | grep 'celery worker' | grep -v " grep " | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

this one is very similar to one presented before but improved because avoid the error that shows when attempt to kill the grep process..

In case someone’s looking to shutdown their celery app programmatically, the same thing can be done in python with:
celery_app.control.shutdown()
