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

If you want to stop your server with npm stop or something like this. You can write the code that kill your server process as:

require('child_process').exec(`kill -9 ${pid}`)
