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.

You can also go the command line route:
to get the process ids.
Then:
Doing the -9 on kill sends a SIGKILL (instead of a SIGTERM). SIGTERM has been ignored by node for me sometimes.
