stop all instances of node js server

Question

This is my first time working with Node js and I ran into this problem   I have started a Node server through the plugin of an IDE  Unfortunately  I cannot use the IDE s terminal  So I tried to run the script from the command line   This is the problem - I am using the Express module and my app is listening some port  8080   When I start the app from the command line  it throws this error   events js 71     throw arguments 1      Unhandled  error  event                      Error  listen EADDRINUSE     at errnoException  net js 770 11      at HTTPServer Server  listen2  net js 910 14      at listen  net js 937 10      at HTTPServer Server listen  net js 986 5      at Object  lt anonymous gt   C  xampp htdocs node chat app js 5 5      at Module  compile  module js 449 26      at Object Module  extensions  js  module js 467 10      at Module load  module js 356 32      at Function Module  load  module js 312 12      at Module runMain  module js 492 10    Even though I am not very sure what this error could be I assumed that it s because the app is listening on a port which is already in use  So I did   netstat -an   I can see    TCP    0 0 0 0 8080           0 0 0 0 0              LISTENING   It s because the Node server is already started when I tried to start it from the IDE   So I want to know  how can I stop all server instances  Also if you can tell me how to detect what s running on a port and kill it

Windows Machine   Need to kill a Node js server  and you don t have any other Node processes running  you can tell your machine to kill all processes named node exe  That would look like this   taskkill  im node exe   And if the processes still persist  you can force the processes to terminate by adding the  f flag   taskkill  f  im node exe   If you need more fine-grained control and need to only kill a server that is running on a specific port  you can use netstat to find the process ID  then send a kill signal to it  So in your case  where the port is 8080  you could run the following   C   gt netstat -ano   find  LISTENING    find  8080    The fifth column of the output is the process ID     TCP    0 0 0 0 8080           0 0 0 0 0              LISTENING       14828   TCP         8080                   0                 LISTENING       14828   You could then kill the process with taskkill  pid 14828  If the process refuses to exit  then just add the  f  force  parameter to the command     Linux machine   The process is almost identical  You could either kill all Node processes running on the machine  use - SIGNAL if SIGKILL is insufficient    killall node   Or also using netstat  you can find the PID of a process listening on a port     netstat -nlp   grep  8080 tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 8080         0 0 0 0                     LISTEN      1073 node   The process ID in this case is the number before the process name in the sixth column  which you could then pass to the kill command     kill 1073   If the process refuses to exit  then just use the -9 flag  which is a SIGTERM and cannot be ignored     kill -9 1073

You can use lsof get the process that has bound to the required port   Unfortunately the flags seem to be different depending on system  but on Mac OS X you can run  lsof -Pi   grep LISTEN   For example  on my machine I get something like   mongod     8662 jacob    6u  IPv4 0x17ceae4e0970fbe9      0t0  TCP localhost 27017  LISTEN  mongod     8662 jacob    7u  IPv4 0x17ceae4e0f9c24b1      0t0  TCP localhost 28017  LISTEN  memcached  8680 jacob   17u  IPv4 0x17ceae4e0971f7d1      0t0  TCP   11211  LISTEN  memcached  8680 jacob   18u  IPv6 0x17ceae4e0bdf6479      0t0  TCP   11211  LISTEN  mysqld     9394 jacob   10u  IPv4 0x17ceae4e080c4001      0t0  TCP   3306  LISTEN  redis-ser 75429 jacob    4u  IPv4 0x17ceae4e1ba8ea59      0t0  TCP localhost 6379  LISTEN    The second number is the PID and the port they re listening to is on the right before   LISTEN    Find the rogue PID and kill -9  PID to terminate with extreme prejudice

if you want to kill a specific node process   you can go to command line route and type   ps aux   grep node   to get a list of all node process ids  now you can get your process id pid   then do   kill -9 PID   and if you want to kill all node processes then do   killall -9 node   -9 switch is like end task on windows  it will force the process to end  you can do   kill -l   to see all switches of kill command and their comments
