merb on low port won't die easily

Reported by Nathan Herald | June 4th, 2008 @ 04:39 PM | in 0.9.9

If I start a merb process on port 80 (or another low port) as a daemon, merb -k or -K cannot kill it off, I have to kill -9 the process directly.

sudo merb -k all doesn't work either, it silently fails.

    I wasn't able to reproduce this (Mac OS X Leopard, Merb 0.9.8 from HEAD), when doing the following:

    
    $ sudo merb -p 80 -d
    $ sudo merb -K all
    killed PID 32489 with signal 1
    

    And also:

    
    $ sudo merb -p 80 -d
    $ sudo merb -k all
    killed PID 32497 with signal 1
    

    Specifying a PORT also worked as expected. Feel free to re-open this ticket if you still experience this issue; please provide us with information on your OS and Merb version.
