Good sample, but looks like chef-server-ctl kill won't pass due to missed arguments ( https://docs.chef.io/ctl_chef_server.html#kill )

That is a good point, although by default it should send SIGKILL to all services, as per (from the page you linked):

The kill subcommand is used to send a SIGKILL to all services. This command can also be run for an individual service by specifying the name of the service in the command.
