port-process-killer

A process killer by port number tool.
Can be used as an API and CLI.

Installation



npm install --save port-process-killer





Usage



$3



You can use as an API to find out the pid that is using the port.



  import { getPid } from "port-process-killer";



  const pid = getPid(8080);

  console.log(

pid is: ${pid}

);



API example to kill the process that is being used by a port



  import { portKill } from "port-process-killer";



  portKill(8080);



If the process was not killed after running the command, you can add the

-f parameter which will use a wmic delete command which is stronger than the taskkill

 command.



  import { portKill } from "port-process-killer";



  portKill(8080, -f);

$3



npm install --global port-process-killer



killProcess --port 8080





Use with force (wmic delete)



killProcess --port 8080 -f

Add Linux support.
