PUMA, trying to stop server, Invalid Signal, number or name - ruby-on-rails

Question

Im trying to stop puma server with a script that i've found here --> script
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Simple move this file into your Rails `script` folder. Also make sure you `chmod +x puma.sh`.
# Please modify the CONSTANT variables to fit your configurations.
# The script will start with config set by $PUMA_CONFIG_FILE by default
PUMA_CONFIG_FILE=config/puma.rb
PUMA_PID_FILE=tmp/pids/puma.pid
PUMA_SOCKET=tmp/sockets/puma.sock
# check if puma process is running
puma_is_running() {
if [ -S $PUMA_SOCKET ] ; then
if [ -e $PUMA_PID_FILE ] ; then
if cat $PUMA_PID_FILE | xargs pgrep -P > /dev/null ; then
return 0
else
echo "No puma process found"
fi
else
echo "No puma pid file found"
fi
else
echo "No puma socket found"
fi
return 1
}
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting puma..."
rm -f $PUMA_SOCKET
if [ -e $PUMA_CONFIG_FILE ] ; then
bundle exec puma --config $PUMA_CONFIG_FILE
else
bundle exec puma --daemon --bind unix://$PUMA_SOCKET --pidfile $PUMA_PID_FILE
fi
echo "done"
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping puma..."
kill -s SIGTERM `cat $PUMA_PID_FILE`
rm -f $PUMA_PID_FILE
rm -f $PUMA_SOCKET
echo "done"
;;
restart)
if puma_is_running ; then
echo "Hot-restarting puma..."
kill -s SIGUSR2 `cat $PUMA_PID_FILE`
echo "Doublechecking the process restart..."
sleep 5
if puma_is_running ; then
echo "done"
exit 0
else
echo "Puma restart failed :/"
fi
fi
echo "Trying cold reboot"
script/puma.sh start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: script/puma.sh {start|stop|restart}" >&2
;;
esac
When I try to stop it it gives me this error
/etc/init.d/puma: 54: kill: invalid signal number or name: SIGTERM
What am I missing here?

Answer 1

When this script is being executed its using a different version of kill that doesn't support those args.
You should be able to change kill -s SIGTERM to just kill -15 (this passes the 15 sigterm code)
