How to kill an open process on node.js?

Question

I\'m trying to set up a build-system for Node.js on sublime, so I can press F7 to call \"node\" on the openned file. The problem is that the process is then open forever, so

Answer 1

From within Node.js:

var die = function(quitMsg)
{
    console.error(quitMsg)
    process.exit(1);
} 

die('Process quit');

There are certain methods available for exiting that are only available for POSIX (i.e. not Windows) that will exit a process by its process id.

Also, note that you might be able to send a kill() signal using this method, which does not say it isn't available for Windows:

process.kill(pid, [signal])
