let shouldRun = true;

function recursiveFunction() {
  if (!shouldRun) {
    console.log('Function killed');
    return;
  }

  // Your recursive logic here
  console.log('Recursive function running');

  setTimeout(() => {
    recursiveFunction();
  }, 1000);
}

// Start the recursive function
recursiveFunction();

// When you want to kill the function
shouldRun = false;

// To restart the function, simply set the flag to true again and call the function
shouldRun = true;
recursiveFunction();
