killport

Simple bash script to kill a process which uses the specified port.

Installation

Simply make a directory in which to store the script, i.e. /opt/scripts/killport, clone this repository therein, set the script to executable, and add this path your $PATH environment variable, as follows:

mkdir -p /opt/scripts/killport && cd /opt/scripts/killport 
git clone https://github.com/xtrasimplicity/killport.git .
chmod +x killport
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/scripts/killport"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Usage

Simply run killport as follows:

killport PORT_NUMBER

i.e. killport 3000

By default, killport sends each process a SIGTERM signal, allowing the process to gracefully terminate. If you want to forcefully terminate the process, you can pass the -f option to have killport send a SIGKILL signal.

i.e. killport -f 3000
