How to stop job which is executed from screen?

Question

I have started npm start with screen for make node instant executable forever. but now I want to stop npm process. so how can I stop it?

I have executed below commands

> screen
> npm start

then pressed CTRL+A and then CTRL+D for closing screen session and then exit from terminal.

Now, how can I stop that npm job?

`kill` should have terminated the process, does it wait for a user input? or releasing a file descriptor? what is the node process output when killed? — iMil, Aug 08 '16 at 06:29

With CTRL+A and then CTRL+D you detach a screen session.

You typically want to resume that detached screen session, screen -r [pid.sessionname] after which among others you can terminate your program with CTRL+C
