You could try killall `killall dfx replica nodemanager` ---

Can you get the name of the process running on that port? If nodemanager is running, killall should find it. ---

Thank you this ended up helping. What is the easiest way for me to see all the processes that Dfinity spawns so I can monitor them? ---

There should only be dfx, replica (formerly client), and nodemanager running. Running dfx start --background then ps (or ps -a in another terminal if not using the background flag) will show these. ---

If dfx stop isn’t killing these successfully it may be worth you opening an issue at [support@dfinity.org](mailto:support@dfinity.org) ---

(You shouldn’t really need to run dfx with elevated privileges either so maybe try doing so without using sudo). ---

See here: > [@No query on canister](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/no-query-on-canister/450/2): > > You’ll need to install the canister after building, before you can call/query it. dfx canister install \ This will also output a new canister id. ---

Note; we are getting rid of the node manager locally as it doesn’t help developers. So dfx start will not use it (in the next release 0.5.1). Cheers
