Kill previous process when building

[Vectorian]

I've just started using Sublime and love the experience so far, but for development, the fact that I need to manually kill the process after each time running a build (-B) is dreadful.

I tried making a custom build script like this:

Code: Select all

{
   "cmd": [ "kill `ps -ef | grep $file_name | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'` || true && python3", "$file"],
   "selector": "main.py",
   "path": "/usr/local/bin"
}


which did not work out as I wanted it to, is there a simple way to do it? Googling turned up nothing of use.

I am also interested in this issue.
I would like to run my node.js apps via the build system but I'm getting EADDRINUSE because the previous process is not terminated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm interested in this too.

I tried the below but it kills all the instances just as they start which is odd as its the first command to execute.

Code: Select all

"build_systems":
[
   {
      "name": "NodeF1Build",
      "shell": true,
      "cmd": ["killall node & nodemon --debug $project_path/app.js & node-inspector"],
      
         "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
         "selector": "source.js"
   }

]
