How to kill all node process in your Angular/Node.JS App?

You might be aware of EADDRINUSE node error in node.js application. Where it says address is in use. This is very annoying. It happenes if some of the ports are still being in used even though you think they are not. What I do is I create a stop script in my node application and I call stop to stop all of the existing node processes.

Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8888
