PsOff

A command-line tool for Mac and Linux to clear your ports

Ever try to launch a process and are blocked by an error like...

Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8080 ?

With PsOff you can tell that process to get out of the way:

> psoff 8080                                             0|21:07:39
Process 41945: [ node ] is running on port 8080
Would you like to kill it? [Y/n] Y
The process has been killed without mercy!
