whoport

A simple nodejs based CLI tool to check if and which PID uses a given port number and optionally kill it.

$3

``npm i -g whoport`

$3

Tested on:
- macOS 10.10.5, 10.11.4, 10.14.6
- Windows 7
- Debian 7.8 (wheezy)

Due to the use of `netstat` for Windows operating systems, whoport should also work on Windows Vista and above. (thanks @lewisje for the hint!)

$3

- OSX uses `lsof` to check for processes and `kill -9` to kill one or more PIDs.
- Windows uses `netstat` to check for processes and `taskkill` to kill the PID.

$3

`


check and display PID and process name if present

whoport 9090

kill process which uses port

whoport 9090 -k
``

$3

#### No process found but something is listening. (OSX)
You need to execute whoport with sudo if a process runs via another or root user. Also see man lsof section "Security".
