I was running a Substrate node on my system but unknowingly I didn't stop the node by using 'CTRL+C' and closed the editor. After that I could see that on frontend, my node was running continuously even though it is was no longer running in the editor.

So there might be a reason that it is still running in the backend of my system but I am not able to see it. So how to stop that node?

  • Which operating system are you on? Is this a server or a desktop computer? What node are you running? Can you see it in the task manager/process viewer? What do you mean by "editor"?

This question is not specific to Substrate or Polkadot, but we are glad to help you. Pressing Ctrl+C in a terminal does the same as sending the INT signal to the running process. The simplest way to stop it is to run the following in another terminal and press Y on the processes you want to interrupt.

killall -s INT -i polkadot
