node process terminal kill code example
Example 1: kill node process
The Difference Between kill and pkill
The kill command is a wrapper to the kill system call, which knows only about process IDs. pkill can determine the process ID based on things like, process name, owner of the process or session id.
Syntax:
$ kill 1234
$ pkill -f node
Example 2: node js kill process
process.exit()
//or
if (condition){process.exit()}
//or
setTimeout((function() {
return process.exit();
}), 5000);
// kill server after 5000ms
