I made a new node project with npm init.

When I enter command ➜ nodemon index.js

I got Error

[nodemon] 2.0.15
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): *.*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,mjs,json

      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

  port: 3003
}
[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting..

and I am using LINUX(UBUNTU) so how can I avoid this.

and thankyou in advance for helping me.

  • `listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3003` means another process is listening on port 3003. Kill that process or use a different port. – jabaa Jan 27 '22 at 17:14

  1. One way of doing it is to running pkill -f nodemon and then restart the server

  2. You could also apply a delay to your nodemon instance as such :

    nodemon --delay 500ms index.js

This link sums up the rest for you :

nodemon Error resolved

You should also add :

process.once('SIGUSR2', function () {
  process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGUSR2');
});

process.on('SIGINT', function () {
  // this is only called on ctrl+c, not restart
  process.kill(process.pid, 'SIGINT');
});
