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

Answer 2

Late answer but on windows, opening up the task manager with CTRL+ALT+DEL then killing Node.js processes will solve this error.

Answer 3

For MacOS

1. Open terminal

2. Run the below code and hit enter

    sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:4200)
   

Answer 4

For windows first search the PID with your port number

netstat -ano | findStr "portNumber"

After that, kill the task, make sure you are in root of your "c" drive And the command will be taskkill /F /PID your pid

Answer 5

$ sudo killall node in another terminal works on mac, while killall node not working:

$ killall node
No matching processes belonging to you were found

Answer 6

on linux try: pkill node

on windows:

Taskkill /IM node.exe /F

or

from subprocess import call

call(['taskkill', '/IM', 'node.exe', '/F'])
