Is there any way to stop ts-node-dev?

Question

I'm trying to make a Discord bot that can shut down on command. Yesterday I asked another question related to this but no one answered. So now I'm thinking is there any way to stop ts-node-dev from command line / .ts file?

Answer 1

Have you tried process.exit(1)? It works in js. I think you need to install @types/node for ts?

Alternatively you can use a bit of a whacky method: You can try launching ts-node with pm2 or nodemon and in order to kill your bot try executing cli command like

exec("killall nodemon", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (error) {
        console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
        return;
    }
    if (stderr) {
        console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
        return;
    }
    console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
});

I hope it helps
