I'm using Windows, so in my cmd, I used to use netstat -ano and findstr command to find a node.js process and then taskkill /pid 1234 /F ( 1234 is an example of pid)

However, it was so much work. Now, I use an easier way.

taskkill /F /IM node.exe

This command will close all the node.js processes in one command.

This is a pretty nice npm module which I use to do some cleanups and so on... before the node.js process exists due to any reason (may be due to kill command from outside the process).

To do the actual cleanup it depends on what you have running. For example if its expressjs do server.close(); and so on....
