Right now I have a nodeJS script that sets up a database for me. Whenever I run it in my command line, I need to ctrl-C to exit the script. I'm assuming that there is some kind of command within nodeJS to have it exit on its own when it's done, but I can't seem to find any such command by doing searches on the interwebz. Does anybody happen to know if this is possible, and if so, what the command is?
Method 1: Using the Ctrl+C key This shortcut can be used to stop any running process by hitting this command on terminal.
Using return to exit a function in javascript Using return is the easiest way to exit a function. You can use return by itself or even return a value.
Node normally exits with a 0 status code when no more async operations are pending. There are other exit codes which are described below: 1 - Uncaught Fatal Exception: There was an uncaught exception, and it was not handled by a domain or an uncaughtException event handler.
To exit the REPL, you can type . exit , or press CTRL+D once, or press CTRL+C twice, which will return you to the shell prompt.
you can exit the script by calling process.exit() (see http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.5.4/api/process.html#process.exit)
you should be using process.exit(). You can pass any status also which will be displayed on the console log.
