How to find and kill a running node.js process in Windows, Mac, and Linux

Windows:

1. Open the Task Manager by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" or by searching for "Task Manager" in the Start menu.

2. In the Processes tab, look for the node.exe process.

3. Right-click on the node.exe process and select "End Task" to kill it.

Mac:

1. Open the Terminal by searching for it in Spotlight or from the Applications > Utilities folder.

2. Use the command "ps -ef | grep node" to find the process ID (PID) of the node.js process.

3. Use the command "kill -9 PID" to kill the process, replacing "PID" with the actual PID of the process.

Linux:

1. Open the Terminal by searching for it in the application launcher or by pressing "Ctrl + Alt + T".

2. Use the command "ps -ef | grep node" to find the process ID (PID) of the node.js process.

3. Use the command "kill -9 PID" to kill the process, replacing "PID" with the actual PID of the process.

It's important to note that using "kill -9" is a forceful command to stop the process it can cause the unsaved data being lost and also it may disrupt other running services or system.
