I want to get current process id which is currently used.I'm using cluster for multiprocessing. I need this because I want to kill child process after the use to reduce memory utilise but I only get the current process Id when I call process.exit() method. But I don't want to call process.exit() method in each route and cluster.on('exit') couldn't called.
Process PID can be accessed by process.pid.
const process = require('process'); // On ubuntu, you dont need this (if there is an error)
if (process.pid) {
console.log('This process is your pid ' + process.pid);
}
Another answer from stackoverflow :- NODEJS process info
Node has several global methods and attributes, one of them being process which holds the current node process info.
