How to stop a forever process knowing the name

I have a node script in which I need to stop a forever process, before uploading the new version and restart it again;

the problem is that I only know the name of that process, and 

forever stop processName.js

doesn't work, since it expect the index or the uid; is it possible to stop it knowing only the name?

Solution

  • Finally I got it, using a variable:

    uid=$(forever list | grep processName.js | cut -c24-27) && forever stop $uid
