Nodemon: Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000

--delay helped me to fix both of issues

• on auto-restart

• stopping with ctrl-c

  nodemon --delay 500ms app.js
  

And I also added:

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');
});
