Sometimes when you try to run a port through terminal, you may end up getting errors like 'address already in use'.
I get this even when I disconnect the host. Although it happens sometimes only. Follow this steps to Kill the local Host.
Step 1:
Open Your Linux Terminal
Step 2:
Types this command below.
sudo lsof -iTCP:3000 -sTCP:LISTEN
Please note that: type your port address instead of 3000
Step 3:
You get an output similar to this.
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 25215 user 20u IPv6 240148 0t0 TCP *:hbci (LISTEN)
note that PID
Step 4:
type kill 25215
Voila, you killed it :)
