how to kill a node server via ant script in mac osx

Question

In windows we can use

<target name="stopnode" description="Stops all instances of node">
    <exec executable="taskkill">
        <arg value="/IM"/>
        <arg value="node.exe"/>
    </exec>
</target>

in Mac when I use kill -9 process_id

or killall node

based on the SO post Stop node.js program from command line.

It says process not found when I am trying to use the following code to kill the node server

<exec osfamily="unix" executable="killall" failonerror="false" resultproperty="prp.result.kill">
    <arg line="node"/>
</exec>

This question appears to be off-topic because it is not about programming. Perhaps Super User or Server Fault would be a better place to ask. — jww
