BATCH: How can I close running batch file by the name using node.js

Question

I want to know how can I close running batch file using Child process or anything in node.js

This is an example for exec in child process

const { exec, spawn } = require('child_process');
exec('my.bat', (err, stdout, stderr) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log(stdout);
});

In order to kill the spawned process when using 'child_process', you need to return the created ChildProcess reference, in this case by exec().

You can then kill the process using it's own API, ie. doing childProcess.kill().

Full example:

const { exec, spawn } = require('child_process');
const childProcess = exec('my.bat', (err, stdout, stderr) => {
  // explicitly kill the process
  childProcess.kill();

  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  console.log(stdout);
});

Find more details in the node.js docs

• exec()
• childProcess.kill()
