Proper way to close server

[avidseeker]

I suppose this has to do with npm.js, but still maybe it's related to 11ty.

I use the command npx @11ty/eleventy --serve to start 11ty server and I restart it using CTRL-C.

However, when I restart the server (for debugging purposes), the previous serving task stays in the backgrounds

Question: How do I properly stop the server? because it keeps changing the port: localhost:8080, 8081, 8082, ...

I usually use kill-port for this task. If you don't want to install the package, just run npx kill-port 8080, it should works fine.
