Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /home/ywn/btc_data. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.

The bitcoin node I deployed is running, and I use “ bitcoind -connect="18.214.92.184" ” command to connect to the new node,
 but the above error occurs. what do I do?
I know that connect can be set via config file bitcoin.conf, but I want to set connect dynamically with command.

Bitcoin Core version v0.20.1
