# why-is-node-running
|
|
|
|
Node is running but you don't know why? `why-is-node-running` is here to help you.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Node 8 and above:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm i why-is-node-running -g
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Earlier Node versions (no longer supported):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm i why-is-node-running@v1.x -g
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const log = require('why-is-node-running') // should be your first require
|
|
const net = require('net')
|
|
|
|
function createServer () {
|
|
const server = net.createServer()
|
|
setInterval(function () {}, 1000)
|
|
server.listen(0)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
createServer()
|
|
createServer()
|
|
|
|
setTimeout(function () {
|
|
log() // logs out active handles that are keeping node running
|
|
}, 100)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Save the file as `example.js`, then execute:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node ./example.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's the output:

There are 5 handle(s) keeping the process running

|
**Important Note!**
|
|
`unref`ed timers do not prevent the Node process from exiting. If you are running with Node v11.0.0 and above, `unref`ed timers will not be listed in the above list. Unfortunately, this is not supported in node versions below v11.0.0.
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
You can also run `why-is-node-running` as a standalone if you don't want to include it inside your code. Sending `SIGUSR1`/`SIGINFO` signal to the process will produce the log. (`Ctrl + T` on macOS and BSD systems)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
why-is-node-running /path/to/some/file.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
probing module /path/to/some/file.js
|
|
kill -SIGUSR1 31115 for logging
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To trigger the log:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kill -SIGUSR1 31115
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Require CLI Option
|
|
|
|
You can also use the node `-r` option to include `why-is-node-running`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node -r why-is-node-running/include /path/to/some/file.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The steps are otherwise the same as the above CLI section
