This way, the simulator can be killed and immediately restarted without encountering the "address already in use" error.
I'm not sure if there is a better way to achieve this, I got some AI help to arrive to this :) But it does make my automatic testing more reliable, while without this option it would fail when restarting the simulator with the error mentioned above.
