How do we stop webdriver-manager?

Question

I am using npm package webdriver-manager to start driver on machine. It fails if the driver is already started.

Is there a way that I can stop and restart the webdriver? Or something like ignore if already started?

Can you please explain your question a little bit more? How do you want to restart webdriver? Is it manually or through the code? — giri-sh, Sep 12 '15 at 10:27
Webdriver-manager cannot be stopped. All hail webdriver-manager. — Kirk Strobeck, Jan 13 '16 at 14:36

In bash you can close like this

kill $(ps -ef | grep webdriver | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }')
