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.

Install

npm install kill-port-process-cli

Global Install

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

1. The tool identifies the process ID (PID) using the specified port.
2. 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.
