Stop node.js program from command line

Question

I have a simple TCP server that listens on a port.

var net = require(\"net\");

var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {
    socket.end(\"Hello!\\n\"         


        

Answer 1

Ctrl+Z suspends it, which means it can still be running.

Ctrl+C will actually kill it.

you can also kill it manually like this:

ps aux | grep node

Find the process ID (second from the left):

kill -9 PROCESS_ID

This may also work

killall node
