As a result, we need to be able to kill those processes in order to re-start the app.
**Terminate** seemed like the *best* (of the available) name,
if you have a better suggestion, please share!
### Why not use an *Existing* Module?
We investigated using **terminate**: https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/
it was *un-maintained* and had *no tests*
so we submitted an [***issue***](https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/issues/10)
offering to update the module *with tests*.
[*Charlie*](https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/issues/10#issuecomment-86795133)
replied welcoming an update so we submitted
a [***Pull Request***](https://github.com/indexzero/terminate/pull/12)
with ***100% test coverage***
Other potential modules:
+ **nexpect**: https://github.com/nodejitsu/nexpect
+ **node-ps**: https://github.com/neekey/ps (has basic tests but no cov)
+ **tree-kill**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tree-kill (no tests!!)
### Name

seemed like the *best* (of the available) name,
if you have a *better suggestion*, please share!
