My cPanel Node.js application "fm-validator" is stuck and returns "Can't acquire lock for app: fm-validator" on Restart, Stop, and Destroy actions in the Node.js Selector interface.
How to clear the stuck lock / kill any orphaned Node process associated with this app so I can restart it cleanly? App path: /home/wonderla/fm-validator
 
Sorry, what do you mean? I am paying for the web services hosting my website with DirectAdmin.
What forums are you talking about? I actually struggled to find any help here, as it is not obvious how to chase the support to get someone to help.
The issue I have is not something I can fix myself. Can I ask you pls to help me resolve this or at least point to the right person for this?
 
The cPanel is a brand name of another commercial control panel. I don't know why you mentioned it here if you use DirectAdmin.

Can I ask you pls to help me resolve this or at least point to the right person for this?

If you have a paid directadmin license you might open a ticket with DirectAdmin support here https://tickets.directadmin.com/ and let the official support team to investigate it for you.

As for killing a process you can always use kill command in a shell (over SSH for example). Or a process monitor at admin level in directadmin.
