I work on a raspberry pi 3B and I want to have 2 scripts that turn a node.js application on or off.

I found this for bash but I don't know how to use that for my program: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3510850/10491406

kill $(ps aux | grep '[n]ode main.js' | awk '{print $2}')

The statement you posted, kills processes running _node main.js_. How is this related to turning an application _on_ and _off_? What exactly does this mean? – user1934428 Jun 01 '22 at 13:44
Why `[n]node` ? – Diego Torres Milano Jun 02 '22 at 01:32
