kill-port-process-cli
A CLI tool to kill processes by port. This tool allows you to terminate processes running on specified ports. It is useful for developers who need to quickly free up ports during development.
Installation
To install the package globally, use npm:
npm install -g kill-port-process-cli
Usage
You can use the tool by running the k
or k-p
or kill-port
command followed by one or more port numbers.
Recommended Command
We recommend using the k
command for simplicity and ease of use.
example
To kill processes running on ports 3000 and 3001:
k 3000 3001
or
k-p 3000 3001
or
kill-port 3000 3001
Compatibility
This tool is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
How It Works
- The tool identifies the process ID (PID) using the specified port.
- It then terminates the process associated with that PID.
Finding the PID
- On Unix-based systems, it uses the
lsof
command. - On Windows, it uses the
netstat
command.
