listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000 - node.js

In my application, I use concurrently to run both backend and front end simultaneously. After ctrl + c, strill the port 5000 is running. Also, port 3000 is running. I have to manually kill processes. How can I solve this?

Run cmd.exe as 'Administrator':
C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /F /IM node.exe

run pa -xa | grep node
you will get result with processid
4476 pts/0 Sl+ 0:01 node index.js
then kill the process with kill -9 4476
as simple as that

lsof -ti finds open files(sockets are files in nix based systems) -t removes the headers, so that we can pipe into kill(We just want the process id), -i lets lsof find the file based off the internet address. We do not have to provide the full address, we can just search by port, by using the pattern :port.
Some commands accept input from stdin, and we can pipe directly to them, kill is not one of those commands, so we must use xargs(It reads from stdin, and calls the specified command with the input from stdin).
Finally the ; lets us execute both commands irrespective of one another. Regardless of whether lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill succeeds or fails,
lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill will run, and vice versa.
lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill; lsof -ti:5000 | xargs kill

Restart your laptop/server, it will release all the busy ports, then try again... you can also use
ps aux | grep node
and then kill the process using:
kill -9 PID..
You can kill all the processes that are using node it can also kill a system process
Not preferred: killall -9 node
but most of the times it wont work for nodemon, and didnt work for me.

You can fix this issue by killing the address in use or may simply restart your device.
1- For Linux to Kill the address in use, use the following command
sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:8080)
where replace 8080 with your app address.

you can simply restart your laptop or change the port number it should work

How to terminate an ssh command that was ran from a remote host?

I ran an ssh command doing the following: ssh user#remote "my command &". Now the process seems to be running in the background, but I cannot find it, and I want to end it. I've used netstat, but cannot find the process.
Didn't you expect it to run in the background? Thats what the & does. You can use ps af to show all of the processes running under your username. You can then kill it by PID.
Thanks everybody. I found the process doing ps aux. For some reason, the port that it was using wasn't being display in netstat.
I suggest some methods
sudo killall ssh
It may not be the best method to use this method, it is better to filter first and then close it
or
ps -o pid,cmd | grep ssh
kill -QUIT (pid)
To stop a program, send the QUIT signal.

Nodemon Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000 [duplicate]

I have a simple server running in node.js using connect:
var server = require('connect').createServer();
//actions...
server.listen(3000);
In my code I have actual handlers, but thats the basic idea. The problem I keep getting is
EADDRINUSE, Address already in use
I receive this error when running my application again after it previously crashed or errors. Since I am not opening a new instance of terminal I close out the process with ctr + z.
I am fairly certain all I have to do is close out the server or connection. I tried calling server.close() in process.on('exit', ...); with no luck.
First, you would want to know which process is using port 3000
sudo lsof -i :3000
this will list all PID listening on this port, once you have the PID you can terminate it with the following:
kill -9 <PID>
where you replace <PID> by the process ID, or the list of process IDs, the previous command output.
You can also go the command line route:
ps aux | grep node
to get the process ids.
Then:
kill -9 PID
Doing the -9 on kill sends a SIGKILL (instead of a SIGTERM).
SIGTERM has been ignored by node for me sometimes.
I hit this on my laptop running win8. this worked.
Run cmd.exe as 'Administrator':
C:\Windows\System32>taskkill /F /IM node.exe
SUCCESS: The process "node.exe" with PID 11008 has been terminated.
process.on('exit', ..) isn't called if the process crashes or is killed. It is only called when the event loop ends, and since server.close() sort of ends the event loop (it still has to wait for currently running stacks here and there) it makes no sense to put that inside the exit event...
On crash, do process.on('uncaughtException', ..) and on kill do process.on('SIGTERM', ..)
That being said, SIGTERM (default kill signal) lets the app clean up, while SIGKILL (immediate termination) won't let the app do anything.
Check the PID i.e. id of process running on port 3000 with below command :
lsof -i tcp:3000
It would output something like following:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 5805 xyz 12u IPv6 63135 0t0 TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)
Now kill the process using :
kill -9 5805
For macOS Monterey(12.0):
Apple introduced some changes for AirPlay on macOS Monterey. Now, it uses 5000 and 7000 ports. If you are using these ports in your project, you need to disable this feature.
System Preferences > Sharing > untick AirPlay Receiver
For macOS Ventura(13.0) and above users:
System Settings > General > disable AirPlay Receiver
I found this solution, try it
Give permission use sudo
sudo pkill node
I usually use
npx kill-port 3000
or on my mac.
killall node
Rewriting #Gerard 's comment in my answer:
Try pkill nodejs or pkill node if on UNIX-like OS.
This will kill the process running the node server running on any port.
Worked for me.
Linux
Run ps and determine the PID of your node process.
Then, run sudo kill PID
Windows
Use tasklist to display the list of running processes:
tasklist /O
Then, kill the node process like so (using the PID obtained from the tasklist command):
taskkill /pid PID
Here is a one liner (replace 3000 with a port or a config variable):
kill $(lsof -t -i:3000)
For windows open Task Manager and find node.exe processes. Kill all of them with End Task.
I was getting this error once and took many of the approaches here.
My issues was that I had two app.listen(3000); calls in the same app.js script. The first app.listen() succeeded where the second threw the error.
Another useful command I came across that helped me debug was sudo fuser -k 3000/tcp which will kill any rogue processes you might have started (some processes may restart, e.g. if run with forever.js, but it was useful for me).
For Visual Studio Noobs like me
You may be running the process in other terminals!
After closing the terminal in Visual Studio, the terminal just disappears.
I manually created a new one thinking that the previous one was destroyed. In reality, every time I was clicking on New Terminal I was actually creating a new one on top of the previous ones.
So I located the first terminal and... Voila, I was running the server there.
Windows by Cmd
1/2. search => write cmd => open node.js command prompt
2/2. Run windows command: taskkill
Ends one or more tasks or processes.
taskkill /f /im node.exe
/f - force ended
/im - Specifies the image name of the process to be terminated.
node.exe - executable file
Windows - Mannualy by Task Manager
This command is the same as going to Task Manager under the details tab & select node tasks (Tidy in my opinion).
And end task
Visual studio
Sometimes there is more than one terminal/task (client/server and so on).
Select and close by ctrl + c.
You may run into scenarios where even killing the thread or process won't actually terminate the app (this happens for me on Linux and Windows every once in a while). Sometimes you might already have an instance running that you didn't close.
As a result of those kinds of circumstances, I prefer to add to my package.json:
"scripts": {
"stop-win": "Taskkill /IM node.exe /F",
"stop-linux": "killall node"
},
I can then call them using:
npm run stop-win
npm run stop-Linux
You can get fancier and make those BIN commands with an argument flag if you want. You can also add those as commands to be executed within a try-catch clause.
FYI, you can kill the process in one command sudo fuser -k 3000/tcp. This can be done for all other ports like 8000, 8080 or 9000 which are commonly used for development.
ps aux | grep node
kill -9 [PID] (provided by above command)
Description:
ps will give the process status, aux provide the list of a: all users processes, u: user own processes, x: all other processes not attached to terminal.
pipe symbol: | will pass the result of ps aux to manipulate further.
grep will search the string provided(node in our case) from the list provided by ps aux.
First find out what is running using:
sudo lsof -nP -i4TCP:3000 | grep LISTEN
You will get something like:
php-fpm 110 root 6u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 274 _www 0u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
php-fpm 275 _www 0u IPv4 0x110e2ba1cc64b26d 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3000 (LISTEN)
Then you can kill the process as followed:
sudo kill 110
Then you will be able to run without getting the listen EADDRINUSE :::3000 errors
Really simply for all OS's ..
npx kill-port 3000
Although your problem is as mentioned above you need to catch the different ways node can exit for example
process.on('uncaughtException', (err, origin) => {
console.log(err);
});
// insert other handlers.
bash$ sudo netstat -ltnp | grep -w ':3000'
- tcp6 0 0 :::4000 :::* LISTEN 31157/node
bash$ kill 31157
PowerShell users:
Taskkill /IM node.exe /F
UI solution For Windows users: I found that the top answers did not work for me, they seemed to be commands for Mac or Linux users. I found a simple solution that didn't require any commands to remember: open Task Manager (ctrl+shift+esc). Look at background processes running. Find anything Node.js and end the task.
After I did this the issue went away for me. As stated in other answers it's background processes that are still running because an error was previously encountered and the regular exit/clean up functions didn't get called, so one way to kill them is to find the process in Task Manager and kill it there. If you ran the process from a terminal/powerShell you can usually use ctrl+c to kill it.
Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) ->
Processes tab ->
select the "node.exe" process and hit "End Process"
Just in case check if you have added this line multiple times by mistake
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log('listening on 3000')
});
The above code is for express but just check if you are trying to use the same port twice in your code.
In windows users: open task manager and end task the nodejs.exe file, It works fine.
On Windows, I was getting the following error:
EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::8081.
Followed these steps:
Opened CMD as Admin
Ran the folowing
command netstat -ano|findstr "PID :8081"
got the following processes:
killed it via:
taskkill /pid 43144 /f
On MAC you can do like this:
raghavkhunger#MacBook-Air ~ % lsof -i tcp:8081
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 23722 username 24u IPv6 0xeed16d7ccfdd347 0t0 TCP *:sunproxyadmin (LISTEN)
username#MacBook-Air ~ % kill -9 23722
With due respect to all the answers in the form, I would like to add a point.
I found that when I terminate a node app on error using Ctrl + Z, the very next time when I try to open it got the same error EADDRINUSE.
When I use Ctrl + C to terminate a node app, the next time I opened it, it did without a hitch.
Changing the port number to something other than the one in error solved the issue.
using netstat to get all node processes with the port they are using and then kill the only one you want by PID
netstat -lntp | grep node
you will get all node processes
tcp6 0 0 :::5744 :::* LISTEN 3864/node
and then when you get the PID (3864) just kill the processes by PID
kill -HUP PID
You may use hot-node to prevent your server from crashing/ run-time-errors. Hot-node automatically restarts the nodejs application for you whenever there is a change in the node program[source] / process[running node program].
Install hot-node using npm using the global option:
npm install -g hotnode

How to kill the port node env is using

I am collaborating on a deploy using sudo with ssh access to aws ec2 instance.
The application starts up and throws the error
Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::4000
if I do:
sudo fuser 4000/tcp
I get:
4000/tcp: 1669
If I do:
sudo fuser -i -k 4000/tcp
I get:
4000/tcp: 1669 Kill process 1669 ? (y/N)
If I do:
y
It doesn't kill the port. I have stopped the app as well of course.
I don't have netstat.
Is this a privilege thing with the root access? I would try to change the port number but don't have that access right now.
Is there anything else I can try?
thanks
You can do this using a combination of kill and lsof.
sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:4000)
Which tells the os to terminate the process using port 4000.
sudo You're likely going to need root level access
kill -9 tells the os to terminate the process
$(some command) command substitution
/ run the command
lsof -t implies terse output excluding
headers
lsof -i:PORT_NUMBER is used to filter the list by internet
address/port

Stop node.js program from command line

I have a simple TCP server that listens on a port.
var net = require("net");
var server = net.createServer(function(socket) {
socket.end("Hello!\n");
});
server.listen(7777);
I start it with node server.js and then close it with Ctrl + Z on Mac. When I try to run it again with node server.js I get this error message:
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
at errnoException (net.js:670:11)
at Array.0 (net.js:771:26)
at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:41)
Am I closing the program the wrong way? How can I prevent this from happening?
To end the program, you should be using Ctrl + C. If you do that, it sends SIGINT, which allows the program to end gracefully, unbinding from any ports it is listening on.
See also: https://superuser.com/a/262948/48624
Ctrl+Z suspends it, which means it can still be running.
Ctrl+C will actually kill it.
you can also kill it manually like this:
ps aux | grep node
Find the process ID (second from the left):
kill -9 PROCESS_ID
This may also work
killall node
Or alternatively you can do all of these in one line:
kill -9 $(ps aux | grep '\snode\s' | awk '{print $2}')
You can replace node inside '\snode\s' with any other process name.
Resume and kill the process:
Ctrl+Z suspends it, which means it is still running as a suspended background process.
You are likely now at a terminal prompt...
Give the command fg to resume the process in the foreground.
type Ctrl+C to properly kill it.
Alternatively, you can kill it manually like this:
(NOTE: the following commands may require root, so sudo ... is your friend)
pkill -9 node
or, if you don't have pkill, this may work:
killall node
or perhaps this:
kill $(ps -e | grep node | awk '{print $1}')
sometimes the process will list its own grep, in which case you'll need:
kill $(ps -e | grep dmn | awk '{print $2}')
.
h/t #ruffin from the comments on the question itself. I had the same issue and his comment helped me solve it myself.
If you are running Node.js interactively (the REPL):
Ctrl + C will take back you to > prompt then type:
process.exit()
or just use Ctrl + D.
you can type .exit to quit node js REPL
$ sudo killall node in another terminal works on mac, while killall node not working:
$ killall node
No matching processes belonging to you were found
on linux try: pkill node
on windows:
Taskkill /IM node.exe /F
or
from subprocess import call
call(['taskkill', '/IM', 'node.exe', '/F'])
you can work following command to be specific in localserver kill(here: 8000)
http://localhost:8000/ kill PID(processId):
$:lsof -i tcp:8000
It will give you following groups of TCPs:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 21521 ubuntu 12u IPv6 345668 0t0 TCP *:8000 (LISTEN)
$:kill -9 21521
It will kill processId corresponding to TCP*:8000
You can use fuser to get what you want to be done.
In order to obtain the process ids of the tasks running on a port you can do:
fuser <<target_port>>/tcp
Let's say the port is 8888, the command becomes:
fuser 8888/tcp
And to kill a process that is running on a port, simply add -k switch.
fuser <<target_port>>/tcp -k
Example (port is 8888):
fuser 8888/tcp -k
That's it! It will close the process listening on the port.
I usually do this before running my server application.
For MacOS
Open terminal
Run the below code and hit enter
sudo kill $(sudo lsof -t -i:4200)
Though this is a late answer, I found this from NodeJS docs:
The 'exit' event is emitted when the REPL is exited either by receiving the .exit command as input, the user pressing <ctrl>-C twice to signal SIGINT, or by pressing <ctrl>-D to signal 'end' on the input stream. The listener callback is invoked without any arguments.
So to summarize you can exit by:
Typing .exit in nodejs REPL.
Pressing <ctrl>-C twice.
pressing <ctrl>-D.
process.exit(0) meaning a natural exit from REPL. If you want to return any other status you can return a non zero number.
process.kill(process.pid) is the way to kill using nodejs api from within your code or from REPL.
If you want to stop your server with npm stop or something like this. You can write the code that kill your server process as:
require('child_process').exec(`kill -9 ${pid}`)
Check this link for the detail:
https://gist.github.com/dominhhai/aa7f3314ad27e2c50fd5
I'm adding this answer because for many projects with production deployments, we have scripts that stop these processes so we don't have to.
A clean way to manage your Node Server processes is using the forever package (from NPM).
Example:
Install Forever
npm install forever -g
Run Node Server
forever start -al ./logs/forever.log -ao ./logs/out.log -ae ./logs/err.log server.js
Result:
info: Forever processing file: server.js
Shutdown Node Server
forever stop server.js
Result
info: Forever stopped process:
uid command script forever pid id logfile uptime
[0] sBSj "/usr/bin/nodejs/node" ~/path/to/your/project/server.js 23084 13176 ~/.forever/forever.log 0:0:0:0.247
This will cleanly shutdown your Server application.
I ran into an issue where I have multiple node servers running, and I want to just kill one of them and redeploy it from a script.
Note: This example is in a bash shell on Mac.
To do so I make sure to make my node call as specific as possible. For example rather than calling node server.js from the apps directory, I call node app_name_1/app/server.js
Then I can kill it using:
kill -9 $(ps aux | grep 'node\ app_name_1/app/server.js' | awk '{print $2}')
This will only kill the node process running app_name_1/app/server.js.
If you ran node app_name_2/app/server.js this node process will continue to run.
If you decide you want to kill them all you can use killall node as others have mentioned.
Late answer but on windows, opening up the task manager with CTRL+ALT+DEL then killing Node.js processes will solve this error.
My use case: on MacOS, run/rerun multiple node servers on different ports from a script
run: "cd $PATH1 && node server1.js & cd $PATH2 && node server2.js & ..."
stop1: "kill -9 $(lsof -nP -i4TCP:$PORT1 | grep LISTEN | awk '{print $2}')"
stop2, stop3...
rerun: "stop1 & stop2 & ... & stopN ; run
for more info about finding a process by a port: Who is listening on a given TCP port on Mac OS X?
For windows first search the PID with your port number
netstat -ano | findStr "portNumber"
After that, kill the task, make sure you are in root of your "c" drive
And the command will be taskkill /F /PID your pid
if you are using VS Code and terminal select node from the right side dropdown first and then do Ctrl + C. Then It will work
Press y when you are prompted.
Thanks

How do I find (and kill) processes that listen to/use my TCP ports? I'm on macOS.
Sometimes, after a crash or some bug, my Rails app is locking port 3000. I can't find it using ps -ef...
When running
rails server
I get
Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE)
The same issue happens when stopping Node.js process. Even after the process is stopped and the app stops running, port 3000 is locked. When starting the app again, getting
Address already in use (Errno::EADDRINUSE)
You can try netstat
netstat -vanp tcp | grep 3000
For macOS El Capitan and newer (or if your netstat doesn't support -p), use lsof
lsof -i tcp:3000
Find:
sudo lsof -i :3000
Kill:
kill -9 <PID>
PLEASE NOTE: -9 kills the process immediately, and gives it no chance of cleaning up after itself. This may cause problems. Consider using -15 (TERM) or -3 (QUIT) for a softer termination which allows the process to clean up after itself.
Quick and easiest solution:
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000)
For multiple ports:
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000,3001)
#3000 is the port to be freed
Kill multiple ports with single line command:
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000,3001)
#Here multiple ports 3000 and 3001 are the ports to be freed
lsof -ti:3000
If the port is occupied, the above command will return something like this: 82500 (Process ID)
lsof -ti:3001
82499
lsof -ti:3001,3000
82499
82500
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3001,3000)
Terminates both 82499 and 82500 processes in a single command.
For using this in package.json scripts:
"scripts": {
"start": "kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000,3001) && npm start"
}
In terminal you can use:
npm run start
Nothing above worked for me. Anyone else with my experience could try the following (worked for me):
Run:
lsof -i :3000 (where 3000 is your current port in use)
then check status of the reported PID :
ps ax | grep <PID>
finally, "begone with it":
kill -QUIT <PID>
A one-liner to extract the PID of the process using port 3000 and kill it.
lsof -ti:3000 | xargs kill
The -t flag removes everything but the PID from the lsof output, making it easy to kill it.
This single command line is easy to remember:
npx kill-port 3000
You can also kill multiple ports at once:
npx kill-port 3000 3001 3002
For a more powerful tool with search:
npx fkill-cli
PS: They use third party javascript packages. npx comes built in with Node.js.
Sources: tweet | github
You can use lsof -i:3000.
That is "List Open Files". This gives you a list of the processes and which files and ports they use.
To forcefully kill a process like that, use the following command
lsof -n -i4TCP:3000
OR lsof -i:3000
Where 3000 is the port number the process is running at
this returns the process id(PID)
and run
kill -9 "PID"
Replace PID with the number you get after running the first command
Why kill -9 PID does not work?
If you trying to kill a process with its PID and it still runs on another PID, it looks like you have started that process in a different account most probably root account. so Login in with sudo su and kill it
In your .bash_profile, create a shortcut for terminate the 3000 process:
terminate(){
lsof -P | grep ':3000' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
}
Then, call $terminate if it's blocked.
To kill multi ports.
$ npx kill-port 3000 8080 8081
Process on port 3000 killed
Process on port 8080 killed
Process on port 8081 killed
Hope this help!
lsof -P | grep ':3000' | awk '{print $2}'
This will give you just the pid, tested on MacOS.
Execute in command line on OS-X El Captain:
kill -kill `lsof -t -i tcp:3000`
Terse option of lsof returns just the PID.
One of the ways to kill a process on a port is to use the python library: freeport (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/freeport/0.1.9) . Once installed, simply:
# install freeport
pip install freeport
# Once freeport is installed, use it as follows
$ freeport 3000
Port 3000 is free. Process 16130 killed successfully
To view the processes blocking the port:
netstat -vanp tcp | grep 3000
To Kill the processes blocking the port:
kill $(lsof -t -i :3000)
Find and kill:
This single command line is easy and works correctly.
kill -9 $(lsof -ti tcp:3000)
Find the open connection
lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"
Kill by process ID
kill -9 'PID'
Possible ways to achieve this:
top
The top command is the traditional way to view your system’s resource usage and see the processes that are taking up the most system resources. Top displays a list of processes, with the ones using the most CPU at the top.
ps
The ps command lists running processes. The following command lists all processes running on your system:
ps -A
You could also pipe the output through grep to search for a specific process without using any other commands. The following command would search for the Firefox process:
ps -A | grep firefox
The most common way of passing signals to a program is with the kill command.
kill PID_of_target_process
lsof
List of all open files and the processes that opened them.
lsof -i -P | grep -i "listen"
kill -9 PID
or
lsof -i tcp:3000
lsof -i tcp:port_number - will list the process running on that port
kill -9 PID - will kill the process
in your case, it will be
lsof -i tcp:3000 from your terminal
find the PID of process
kill -9 PID
I made a little function for this, add it to your rc file (.bashrc, .zshrc or whatever)
function kill-by-port {
if [ "$1" != "" ]
then
kill -9 $(lsof -ni tcp:"$1" | awk 'FNR==2{print $2}')
else
echo "Missing argument! Usage: kill-by-port $PORT"
fi
}
then you can just type kill-by-port 3000 to kill your rails server (substituting 3000 for whatever port it's running on)
failing that, you could always just type kill -9 $(cat tmp/pids/server.pid) from the rails root directory
These two commands will help you find and kill server process
lsof -wni tcp:3000
kill -9 pid
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000)
works for me on macOS always.
If you're working on a node.js project, you can add it to package.json scripts like;
"scripts": {
...
"killme": "kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000)",
...
},
then
npm run killme
--
Also if you want to add system wide alias for your macOS, follow these steps;
Navigate to your home directory:
cd ~
Open up .bash_profile or zsh profile using nano or vim:
vi .bash_profile
Add an alias (press i):
alias killme="kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3000)"
save file
restart terminal
type killme to the terminal
Of course you can change port 3000 to what you want.
Add to ~/.bash_profile:
function killTcpListen () {
kill -QUIT $(sudo lsof -sTCP:LISTEN -i tcp:$1 -t)
}
Then source ~/.bash_profile and run
killTcpListen 8080
Using sindresorhus's fkill tool, you can do this:
$ fkill :3000
Works for me for terminating node (Mac OS Catalina)
killall -9 node
TL;DR:
lsof -ti tcp:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN | xargs kill
If you're in a situation where there are both clients and servers using the port, e.g.:
$ lsof -i tcp:3000
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 2043 benjiegillam 21u IPv4 0xb1b4330c68e5ad61 0t0 TCP localhost:3000->localhost:52557 (ESTABLISHED)
node 2043 benjiegillam 22u IPv4 0xb1b4330c8d393021 0t0 TCP localhost:3000->localhost:52344 (ESTABLISHED)
node 2043 benjiegillam 25u IPv4 0xb1b4330c8eaf16c1 0t0 TCP localhost:3000 (LISTEN)
Google 99004 benjiegillam 125u IPv4 0xb1b4330c8bb05021 0t0 TCP localhost:52557->localhost:3000 (ESTABLISHED)
Google 99004 benjiegillam 216u IPv4 0xb1b4330c8e5ea6c1 0t0 TCP localhost:52344->localhost:3000 (ESTABLISHED)
then you probably don't want to kill both.
In this situation you can use -sTCP:LISTEN to only show the pid of processes that are listening. Combining this with the -t terse format you can automatically kill the process:
lsof -ti tcp:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN | xargs kill
Here's a helper bash function to kill multiple processes by name or port
fkill() {
for i in $#;do export q=$i;if [[ $i == :* ]];then lsof -i$i|sed -n '1!p';
else ps aux|grep -i $i|grep -v grep;fi|awk '{print $2}'|\
xargs -I# sh -c 'kill -9 #&&printf "X %s->%s\n" $q #';done
}
Usage:
$ fkill [process name] [process port]
Example:
$ fkill someapp :8080 node :3333 :9000
You can try this
netstat -vanp tcp | grep 3000
I use:
lsof -wni tcp:3000
Get the PID, and:
kill -9 <PID>
my fav one-liner:
sudo kill `sudo lsof -t -i:3000`
To kill port 3000 on mac, run the below command
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN)
