I am running Nodemon in an express app, and I've done no special configuration; in my package.json I have this:
"scripts": { "start:dev": "nodemon app/app.js"
}
...Everything goes fine until I make changes, and Nodemon goes to restart. I get an EADDRINUSE error, so I'll try and restart completely and I get the same error.
After this, I started checking for anything running on port 3001 (which is what Nodemon is supposed to run on), and get something like the following output:
$ lsof -i :3001
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 54343 myUserName 11u IPv6 0x1bdae98886f3261d 0t0 TCP *:redwood-broker (LISTEN)If I kill that process, I can finally restart Nodemon, but the same thing will happen the next time I make changes to the files being watched by Nodemon.
After scouring the Internet, I've seen some mentions of redwood-broker, but nothing helpful so far. Has anyone seen this behavior with Nodemon?
I'm using the following:
Express 4.16.2
Nodemon version 1.15.1
2016 MacBook Pro with Sierra 10.12.6
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This issue happens to a few people. You could do below to try:
Option 1:
sudo pkill node
Option 2:
- sudo lsof -i :5955
Then kill the process which is currently running on the port using its PID
- sudo kill -9 PID
Hope it helps
