To stop a Node.js server running on a Linux system, you can use a few methods depending on how the server was started:
<ol>
<li>Keyboard Shortcut: If you started the server manually in the terminal using a keyboard shortcut like <code>Ctrl + C</code>, this will typically stop the server and return you to the command prompt.
</li>
<li>Process ID (PID): If the Node.js server is running in the background or as a daemon and you have its process ID, you can use the <code>kill</code> command with the process ID. For instance:
<pre><code class="lang-plaintext"> bashCopy codekill &lt;PID&gt;
</code></pre>
 Replace <code>&lt;PID&gt;</code> with the actual process ID of your Node.js server.
</li>
<li>Using <code>pkill</code> or <code>killall</code>: If you have multiple Node.js processes running and want to stop them all, you can use <code>pkill</code> or <code>killall</code> followed by the process name. For example:
<pre><code class="lang-plaintext"> bashCopy codepkill node
</code></pre>
 or
<pre><code class="lang-plaintext"> bashCopy codekillall node
</code></pre>
 This will terminate all processes named "node".
</li>
</ol>
Remember, using <code>kill</code> or <code>pkill</code> without caution might forcibly terminate processes. It's essential to ensure you're stopping the correct process to avoid unintended consequences.

To stop a Node.js server running on a Linux system, you can use a few methods depending on how the server was started:

1. **Keyboard Shortcut**: If you started the server manually in the terminal using a keyboard shortcut like `Ctrl + C`, this will typically stop the server and return you to the command prompt.
 
2. **Process ID (PID)**: If the Node.js server is running in the background or as a daemon and you have its process ID, you can use the `kill` command with the process ID. For instance:
 
 ```plaintext
 bashCopy codekill <PID>
 ```
 
 Replace `<PID>` with the actual process ID of your Node.js server.
 
3. **Using** `pkill` **or** `killall`: If you have multiple Node.js processes running and want to stop them all, you can use `pkill` or `killall` followed by the process name. For example:
 
 ```plaintext
 bashCopy codepkill node
 ```
 
 or
 
 ```plaintext
 bashCopy codekillall node
 ```
 
 This will terminate all processes named "node".
