Send child_process Control-C

Question

Node.js

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn('cmd'),
  iconv = require('iconv-lite');

spawn.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('Stdout: ', iconv.decode(data, 'cp866'));
});

spawn.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('Stderr: ', iconv.decode(data, 'cp866'));
});
spawn.on('exit', function (code) {
  console.log(code)
})
spawn.stdin.write('ping 8.8.8.8 -t'+ '\r\n');

Actually, the question is: how to stop ping, but not kill the process?

Answer 1

Why not immediately start the child ping process? Then you can just kill him and that's it.
