How to kill nodemon process on mac?

Question

I am having trouble with exiting past nodemon instance.

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node    98355 user   14u  IPv6 0x51b8b9857a4e56a3      0t0  TCP *:redwood-broker (LISTEN)

It has taken my 3000 port so I am trying to exit it. I searched it by using lsof -wni tcp:3000

I could see that PID is 98335, so tried kill 98335, kill -9 98335, sudo kill 98335, sudo kill -9 98335 and so on but no luck, it's just saying

kill: kill 98335 failed: no such process

But if I save something, nodemon watching job is printing out to console, which means that process is still alive.

Please help me.

To work around the issue, find the proces running on the port number and kill it:

 kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:3000)
