Can't kill celery workers

Try as I might I cannot kill these celery workers.

I run:

celery --app=my_app._celery:app status

I see I have 3 (I don't understand why 3 workers = 2 nodes, please explain if you know)

celery@ip-x-x-x-x: OK
celery@ip-x-x-x-x: OK
celery@named-worker.%ip-x-x-x-x: OK

2 nodes online.

I run (as root):

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

The workers just keep reappearing with a new PID.

Please help me kill them.

  1. In your console, type :
ps -aux | grep celery

I get :

simon    24615  3.8  0.6 344276 219604 pts/3   S+   22:53   0:56 /usr/bin/python3 /home/simon/.local/bin/celery -A worker_us_task worker -l info -Q us_queue --concurrency=30 -n us_worker@%h
  1. select what you find after -A and type :
pkill -9 -f 'worker_us_task worker'

A process whose pid keeps changing is called comet. Even though pid of this process keeps on changing, its process group ID remains constant. So you can kill by sending a signal.

ps axjf | grep '[c]elery' | awk '{print $3}' | xargs kill -9

Alternatively, you can also kill with pkill

pkill -f celery

This kills all processes with fullname celery.

I always use:

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

If you're using supervisord to run celery, you need to kill supervisord process also.

pkill -f celery

Run from the command line, this will kill at processes related to celery.
