I have also found that my mac os x terminal windows need to be expanded really big to do:<br><br>ps aux | grep blah <br><br>especially for ruby proceses with paths like:<br><br>/usr/bin/nice -n 3 /usr/local/bin/ruby ....<br>
<br>I assume this is because it is really piping ps aux to the screen and then doing the grep, and if the screen is not big enough, it wont find the full path.<br><br>netstat -ano <br><br>should also show you what "stuff" is listening on all your ports and so you can see those 8000 ports still on.
