Cannot terminate the dev server process with `Ctrl+C` while running `nx serve <app-name>`

See original GitHub issue

Steps to Reproduce

Start dev server using nx serve <app-name> in Zsh or Bash
Server starts on port:4200
Use Ctrl+C to stop the process

Current Behavior

The server is still running on the same port. When you try to start the dev server again the following error appears:

[error] Error: Port 4200 is already in use. Use '--port' to specify a different port.
    at Server.<anonymous> (......./node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/angular-cli-files/utilities/check-port.js:27:28)
    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:417:26)
    at Server.emit (events.js:310:20)
    at emitErrorNT (net.js:1340:8)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:84:21)

Note: using ng serve <app-name> works as expected

Expected Behavior

The process is terminated after pressing Ctrl+C When you start a server again the port is available for use

Environment

OS: macOS Shell: Zsh, Bash
