How stop after running react-scripts start?

I started a React app with npm start with start defined in package.json:

{
  "name": "testreactapp",
  "version": "0.1.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "^15.6.1",
    "react-dom": "^15.6.1",
    "react-scripts": "1.0.10"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  }
}

I want to stop it now, without closing the terminal. How do I do that?

Tried: npm stop testrectapp but that throws error that it needs a script

Then tried: npm run stop with script "stop": "pkill --signal SIGINT testreactapp" that throws error 'pkill is not recognized as a command'

Edit

Running ps in bash shows:

Don't see the app there?

I had same issue too. I used this code to stop it

taskkill -F -IM node.exe

Just type the code in the terminal

To make sure the process it finished just type the command:

$ killall -9 node

Will kill all processes by with the name "node". -9 to use kernel for killing the process, instead of process itself.

See the manpage

If you're using Git Bash you might get an invalid arguments error. You have to use the following syntax.

To check which PID to kill:

netstat -aon

Look for 127.0.0.1:3000 under Local Address and note the PID

To kill the process:

taskkill -f //PID ####

where #### is the PID from above.

I am having the same problem on Mac with a terminal started in VS code.

CTRL C kills the node server however a vscode process remains attached to the port afterwards and prevents restarting on the same port.

The following workaround works for me on Mac

npx kill-port 3000

You can call this from another terminal and it should kill the node server and any other related vscode processes attached to the port and allow you to restart the server on the same port.

You can also add a script in package.json:

"stop": "npx kill-port 3000"

Then call yarn stop to stop your server

Simply use Ctrl + c and it will stop the server, simple.

  1. Open Task manager (Task Bar Righ click/press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

  2. Go on to the Processes tab

  3. Find the Node. js: Server-side JavaScript

  4. End the task.
