Solution 1:[1]

pkill is the easiest command line utility

pkill -f node

or

pkill -f nodejs

whatever name the process runs as for your os

—- update —- It has been raised that this does not address killing a single node process and instead kills EVERY node process. If this is desired pkill is your tool, otherwise use one of the other accepted answers

sudo netstat -lpn |grep :'3000'

3000 is port i was looking for, After first command you will have Process ID for that port 

kill -9 1192

in my case 1192 was process Id of process running on 3000 PORT use -9 for Force kill the process

Solution 3:[3]

if you want to kill a specific node process , you can go to command line route and type:

ps aux | grep node

to get a list of all node process ids. now you can get your process id(pid), then do:

kill -9 PID

and if you want to kill all node processes then do:

killall -9 node

-9 switch is like end task on windows. it will force the process to end. you can do:

kill -l

to see all switches of kill command and their comments.

Solution 4:[4]

You can use the killall command as follows: 

killall node

Solution 5:[5]

Run ps aux | grep nodejs, find the PID of the process you're looking for, then run kill starting with SIGTERM (kill -15 25239). If that doesn't work then use SIGKILL instead, replacing -15 with -9.

Solution 6:[6]

In order to kill use: killall -9 /usr/bin/node

To reload use: killall -12 /usr/bin/node

Solution 7:[7]

First find the Process ID (PID) associated with the port:

lsof -i tcp:5000

That displayed for me

COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
firefox  4228 ravi  243u  IPv4 484748      0t0  TCP localhost:36216->localhost:5000 (ESTABLISHED)
node    12675 ravi   21u  IPv4 231192      0t0  TCP *:5000 (LISTEN)
node    12675 ravi   24u  IPv4 485739      0t0  TCP localhost:5000->localhost:36216 (ESTABLISHED)

then kill the process with :

kill -9 12675
