I’ve tried all sorts of kill commands. When I go sudo netstat -lpn | grep :3000 I get a PID for a process. I kill it an another one immediately appears. I’ve tried every command I found on stack overflow and nothing can kill it.
Is there a way to wipe my droplet? I just started it so this would be easier then spending any more time trying to debug this.
This all stems from the inability to run my node app, but I believe this will be the first step to solving the larger issue.

I found this that finally killed it
killall -s KILL node. Maybe specific to this case, I don’t know. No otherkillcommands worked. Thanks for the reponses~Perhaps search for node:

Heya,
Sometimes, there might be parent processes spawning the one you’re trying to kill. Use tools like
psorpstreeto identify related processes and kill them as well.If all else fails, you can try killing the process with signal 9 (
SIGKILL), which is more forceful than the default signal sent bykill, so it will be kill -9 $commandRegards
