Start/Stop a Discord-Bot in nodejs-CodePudding

I would like to create a command to start and stop my test Discord-Bot but have no idea on how to do a stop command. Maybe anyone can help me there? Here is my code.

if(args[0] === "start") {
        child.exec("node test.js", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
            if (error) {
                console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
                return;
            }
            if (stderr) {
                console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
                return;
            }
            console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
        });
        
    }else {
        if(args[0] === "stop") {
            //stop the bot
        }
    }

I'm not sure to understand what you want. But if you have a Discord-Bot you need to host it somewhere. So if your bot is unactive it can't wait for a keyword.

If the idea it's just to have access to commands of your bot depending of on/off you can do this with a simple boolean.

Try .destroy() method, returns void.
