Nx processes not quitting, consuming 100% CPU

[louisnw01]

Current Behavior

When running nx serve in terminal, if that terminal window is quit (without CTRL+C'ing the nx server) there will be dangling node processes visible in Activity Monitor that consume 100% CPU; they will not stop until we manually force quit.

Expected Behavior

All scenarios of terminating nx should kill all processes, rather than needing to be manually quit.
