I know it's possible to send SIGTERM, SIGINT, etc. to your own process in the C programming language:

Does Node.js provide this functionality?

Why would you need to do this? – mscdex Apr 13 '17 at 20:34

1@mscdex: This would be helpful if I want to gracefully shut down the application after some event, and I don't have direct access to the signal handler. – Shivanshu Goyal Apr 13 '17 at 22:16

process.kill(process.pid, "SIGINT");
process.kill sends a signal (SIGINT in this case, provided by the second parameter), to a provided PID. (process.pid in this case, which is the PID of the running node process.)

Thanks. I was looking for this. It works for me. The next question, how to stop debugging? E.g. stop listening and drop attached debuggers? – Evgheni Calcutin Mar 15 '22 at 17:01
