Kills the process running on a given port (assuming you have permission to do so)
npm install port-killerCommand line convenience utility to kill a process running on the provided port.
There are plenty of alternative (and likely superior) modules to achieve this.
This one was written for a specific use-case.
``sh`
$ npm i -g port-killer
`js
const portkill = require('port-killer');
const results = portkill(8080);
console.log(results);
// returns an object with two properties
{
// String of output providing pid if applicable
message: 'Killed process(es) 6907',
// Boolean indicating success or failure
error: false
}
`
As a command line utility:
`shell``
$ portkill 9945
Killed process(es) 6907
