Node.js: how to stop webserver?

Question

JavaScript

Good evening!
I'm using the gulp-server-livereload plugin !
var server = require('gulp-server-livereload');

gulp.src(pathDir).pipe(server({
   livereload: true,
   directoryListing: true,
   open: true,
   port: 80
}));

How can I stop it from running?
I tried: server.restart(), server.kill(), server.reset()
But errors occur:

Answer 1

Judging by the sources, the server stops through the "kill" event.
Try:

const stream = server({
   livereload: true,
   directoryListing: true,
   open: true,
   port: 80
});

gulp.src(pathDir).pipe(stream);

stream.emit('kill');

Answer 2

if you can’t find it in the dock, then process.exit() will solve your problem for sure

Answer 3

ps aux | grep node or index.js (any name of the start file)
kill pid -9
If it got lost in the processes.
In general, ctrl + c is enough to exit a non-background process or a command for process managers if, for example, you have pm2.
