Kill process listening on a particular port
til command-line
Use the kill
command in combination with the lsof
(list of open files) command to kill process listening to a
particular port. As described in a previous post,
the lsof
command
helps us identify which process is listening to a particular port - Just pass the result of the lsof
command to the kill
command.
$ sudo kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:8080)
The below variation uses xargs
to accomplish the same:
$ lsof -t -i:8080 | xargs kill -9
