kill the process running on port 8080 code example

Example 1: kill process on port

#To list any process listening to the port 8080:
lsof -i:8080

#To kill any process listening to the port 8080:
kill $(lsof -t -i:8080)

#or more violently:
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:8080)

Example 2: windows stop process running on port 8080

netstat  -ano  |  findstr  <Port Number>
taskkill  /F  /PID  <Process Id>

Example 3: 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 4: kill port

kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:'portName')
//Ex. if portname is 3000
//then we will execute "kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:3000)"
