`terminate`\n\nA minimalist yet *reliable* way to **Terminate** a **`Node.js Process`** (and ***all Child Processes***) by **Process ID**.\n\n\n\n\n[](http://codecov.io/github/dwyl/terminate?branch=main)\n[](https://badge.fury.io/js/terminate)\n[](https://nodejs.org/download)\n[](https://github.com/dwyl/goodparts \"JavaScript The Good Parts\")\n[](http://hits.dwyl.com/dwyl/terminate)\n[](https://github.com/dwyl/hapi-auth-jwt2/issues)\n\n
\n\n## Usage\n\n### Install from NPM\n\n```sh\nnpm install terminate --save\n```\n\n### In your script\n\n```js\nconst terminate = require('terminate');\n\nterminate(process.pid, function (err) {\n if (err) { // you will get an error if you did not supply a valid process.pid\n console.log('Oopsy:', err); // handle errors in your preferred way.\n }\n else {\n console.log('done'); // terminating the Processes succeeded.\n // NOTE: The above won't be run in this example as the process itself will be killed before.\n }\n});\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nAll the available parameters and their descriptions are viewable in the TypeScript definition file: [**`index.d.ts`**](./index.d.ts#L71).\n\n```ts\n// Function signature\nterminate(pid: number, signal?: string, opts?: TerminateOptions, callback?: DoneCallback): void\n\n// Function signature of the Promise version\nterminate(pid: number, signal?: string, opts?: TerminateOptions): Promise\n```\n\n- `pid` - The Process ID you want to terminate.\n- `signal` - The signal to kill the processes with. Defaults to `\"SIGKILL\"` if it's empty or not defined.\n- `opts.pollInterval` - Interval to poll whether `pid` and all of the childs pids have been killed. Defaults to `500` (0.5s).\n- `opts.timeout` - Max time (in milliseconds) to wait for process to exit before timing out and calling back with an error. Defaults to `5000` (5s).\n- `callback` - The callback function to call when the termination is done. It has this signature: `(error: Error | null): void` whereas `error` will be `null` if the operation succeeds.\n\n### Promise API\n\nIf you are **using Node.js 8+**, you can load the Promise version importing the module `terminate/promise.js` like this:\n\n```js\nconst terminate = require('terminate/promise');\n\n(async () => {\n try {\n await terminate(process.pid);\n console.log('done');\n } catch (err) {\n console.log('Oopsy:', err);\n }\n})();\n```\n\n
\n\n# tl;dr\n\n## Why?\n\nIn our [***Faster***](https://github.com/ideaq/faster) project\nwe run the server using [**Child Process**](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html)(es).\nWhen we want to re-start the server, \nwe needed to ensure the **process** (and any **Child Processes**)\nwere **Terminate**d before attempting to re-start.\n\n\n## *Prevents* Zombie Processes\n\nImagine you are running your Node.js app on a Multi-Core Processor\nand don't want to \"waste\" the CPU by only using *one* of those cores \n(remember: one of Node's *selling points* is that its [single-process running on a single-core](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17959663/)),\nyou can \"farm out\" tasks to the other cores using [**Child Process**](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html)(es)\n\nIf you then want to restart your app you *naively* (we did this!)\nterminate the \"main\" process and *expect* all the \"child\" processes to\nbe ended too.\n\nSadly this results in [***Zombie Processes***](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27381163)\nwhich you would have to either *manually* kill or restart the machine/VM to clear. \nInstead you need to *find* all the Process IDs for the child processes\nthat your app created and **terminate** those *before* you can re-start your app.\n\nUsing ***terminate*** you no longer have this problem.\n\n
\n\n## Dependencies [](https://retire.insecurity.today/api/image?uri=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dwyl/terminate/main/package.json)\n\nWhile researching how to get a list of child processes given a\nProcess ID we found **ps-tree**: https://github.com/indexzero/ps-tree \nit was *un-maintained* and had *no tests*\n so we submitted an [***issue***](https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/issues/10)\n offering to update the module *with tests*. \n [*Charlie*](https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/issues/10#issuecomment-86795133)\n replied welcoming an update so we submitted\n a [***Pull Request***](https://github.com/indexzero/ps-tree/pull/12)\n with ***100% test coverage*** which was [***Merged*** by *Charlie*](https://github.com/indexzero/ps-tree/pull/12#issuecomment-91785753) \nps-tree in turn uses [**event-stream**](https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream)\n(by [Dominc Tarr](https://github.com/dominictarr)) for streaming the result\nof its process lookups. \n**event-stream** does not publish its' code coverage,\nbut is tested (and *more importantly* ***used*** by millions of people) \nhas had ***many itterations*** and has been ***stable*** for a while:\n\n[](https://nodei.co/npm/event-stream/)\n\nWhile we don't *like* the fact that **event-stream** has dependencies which have\n*limited* ***automated tests***, \nwe are willing to place *reliance* on the module given how\n\"***real-world tested***\" it is.\n\n*If* at any point we find that relying **event-stream** or its underlying\ndependencies is the source of a bug or sleepless nights, \nwe can either [***make time***](https://github.com/ideaq/time)\nto contribute the tests ***or*** *write our own* version of **ps-tree**\n*without dependencies* \n(*which should \"only\" take a day but won't be as elegant...*)\n\n\n## Research\n\n### Background Reading\n\n+ How to terminate node processes: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/1172 (history lesson)\n+ nodejs exec command failing with no useful error message:\nhttps://github.com/joyent/node/issues/4590\n\n### Useful StackOverflow Questions/Answers\n\n+ [spawning node.js child processes results in zombie processes on cloud foundry](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27381163)\n+ [Why does my node app process keep getting stopped when I use forever?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26694100)\n+ [kill all child_process when node process is killed](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18275809)\n+ [Why doesn't my Node.js process terminate once all listeners have been removed?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26004519)\n+ [nodejs exec command failing with no useful error message](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14319724)\n+ [How many child processes can a node.js cluster spawn on a 64bit Wintel PC?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9275654)\n+ [Why is Node.js single threaded?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17959663)\n\n\nOther potential modules we could have used:\n\n+ **node-ps**: https://github.com/neekey/ps (has basic tests but no coverage / unmaintained?)\n+ **tree-kill**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tree-kill (no tests!!)\n+ **nexpect**: https://github.com/nodejitsu/nexpect (spawn and control child processes\n looks really good, but we wanted *less abstraction*)\n\n\n### Name\n\n[**Terminate**](https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=terminate)\nseemed like the *best* (of the available) name, \nif you have a *better suggestion*, please share!\n\n
