Intermittent EADDRINUSE :::5000

So, sometimes when I reboot my server it fixes it and sometimes it doesn't but I continuously get Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5000. In my package.json in my client I have a proxy for "proxy": "http://localhost:5000" and I changed that to port 3000 to test it, still issue persisted. I went into server.js and tried just changing the port but any port I change it to it says it's in use. So, it has to be an issue with how I am setting up express i'm assuming. I just don't know what to even change since it's intermittent.

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::5000

package.json

"proxy": "http://localhost:5000"

server.js

Also it's weird my server is still running because my socket works...

edit
Here are my scripts:

"scripts":
"client-install": "npm install --prefix client",
"start": "node server.js",
"server": "nodemon server.js",
"client": "npm start --prefix client",
"dev": "concurrently "npm run server" "npm run client"",
,


server.js snippet

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;
var server = app.listen(port, () =>
console.log(`Server running on port $port`)
);
var io = (module.exports.io = require("socket.io").listen(server));


"dev": "concurrently "npm run server" "npm run client"",

I ended up just using killall node if I ran into this issue

killall node
