title: Start, Stop Node express server
body: <p>When I issue the command npm start, it starts the server and I see the following output</p>
  
  <pre><code>expressproject@0.0.0 start /var/www/html/helix/expressproject
  node ./bin/www
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a command for npm stop?</p>
  
  <p>After some searching, I see that the package.json has only start</p>
  
  <pre><code>"scripts": {
  "start": "node ./bin/www"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>},</p>
  
  <p>How can I stop or restart the server?</p>
  
  <p>What happens if I press Ctrl + z, it only terminates the npm start. Does the server really stop.</p>
