mac check what process is using a port code example

Example 1: kill all server 5000 mac

#First run this, to get port information (with the port you want to kill)
sudo lsof -i :3000 

#Then run this, with <PID> replaced by the value in the column returned by previous command.
kill -9 <PID>

Example 2: mac terminal find process by port

sudo lsof -i tcp:3000

Example 3: kill all ports mac

lsof -n -i TCP:8080
COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node     54762   user   23u  IPv4 XXXXXXXXX      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:http-alt (LISTEN)
PID // is second field in the response . Then, kill that process:

kill -9 54762 // here put PID number found on the table 54762

Example 4: running ports in mac

sudo lsof -PiTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
