Kill-port-process
Cross-platform module to stop one (or more) process(es) running on a port (or a list of ports).
Install
$ npm install kill-port-process -E
# or
$ yarn add kill-port-process
Usage
Programmatically
const { killPortProcessĀ } = require('kill-port-process');
const PORT = 1234; // long-running process running on this, e.g. a http-server.
(async () => {
await killPortProcess(PORT); // takes a number, number[], string or string[]
})();
CLI
Install the module globally: npm install kill-port-process -g
.
You can use the CLI calling it with kill-port <port>
.
It takes a single port or a list of ports separated by a space. Valid flags are -p
and --port
but are both optional.
$ kill-port 1234
# or multiple ports, separated by space(s)
$ kill-port 1234 2345
# or
$ kill-port -p 1234
# or
$ kill-port --port 1234
