How to kill forever-monitor?

[NateZimmer]

I know on windows/linux I can do a targeted kill of the process but this is a bit tedious/hacky.

I was hoping killing the forever-monitor cli would stop the child processes. Other than that, I had hoped I would be able to code in a kill upon exit such as the following:

 process.on('exit', function (){
  child.stop();
});

However, not even the above worked. Anybody have an idea how I can kill forever-monitor upon the forever-monitor cli being closed? This allows more ignorant users to easily kill the system while maintaining reliability of running the underlying child script when the CLI is open.

Hey @NateZimmer, did you try the following?

const path = require('path');
const forever = require('forever-monitor');

let child;

function exit() {
  console.error('Received exit signal on main process.');
  if (child) child.stop();
  process.exit(0);
}

['SIGINT', 'SIGKILL', 'SIGTERM'].forEach(signal => process.on(signal, exit));

child = new forever.Monitor(path.join(__dirname, 'server.js'));
child.start();
