15,550 PointsHow do I stop nodemon?
I keep on getting the EADDRINUSE error when trying to launch a new instance of the server with node-debug. Neither control c nor rs stops nodemon. I was going to try ps -W | grep nodemon and then force stop it from there, but the process it shows is something called node.exe. I'm not sure if thats nodemon or node itself, so I don't want to mess something up on accident. Would it be safe to stop that process or what should I do?

Nodemon is a Node module, so it will running node as a process.

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsIf it's in the same console/terminal window that you started the nodemon process, then it should be Ctrl + C (maybe twice).
Otherwise, if it's in the background, follow the steps in the link that alex gwartney posted.

I used ps -w | grep node to find the PID, but when i type kill PID I get a message saying no such process. Anyone have a solution?
