how to stop server running on port code example

Example 1: kill process running on port in windows

netstat -ano | findstr :8080
taskkill /PID <yourid> /F

Example 2: netstat -ano | findstr kill

Kill Process in Windows

Step 1:

Open up cmd.exe (note: you may need to run it as an administrator, but this isn't always necessary), then run the below command:

netstat -ano | findstr :PORT_NUMBER

(Replace PORT_NUMBER with the port number you want, but keep the colon)



The area circled in red shows the PID (process identifier). Locate the PID of the process that's using the port you want.

Step 2:

Next, run the following command:

taskkill /PID PORT_NUMBER /F

Example 3: kill a port

kill $(lsof -t -i:8080)
//kill port 8080

Example 4: stop a process running on a port

# Print PID of process bound on that port.
fuser 8080/tcp

# Kill that process
fuser -k 8080/tcp

Example 5: close all localhost connections

netstat -ano | findstr :yourPortNumber

taskkill /PID typeyourPIDhere /F

Example 6: stop localhost server

netstat -ano | findstr :yourPortNumber
tskill typeyourPIDhere
