killport-cli

Kill whatever is running on a port, without digging through lsof output yourself.

Install

npm install -g @moakk/killport-cli

Usage

killport 3000

killport 3000 8080 5432

Skip the confirmation prompt:

killport 3000 --force

What it shows

Port 3000 is in use:
  Process : node
  PID     : 12345
  User    : bob
  Command : /usr/local/bin/node server.js

Kill it? [y/N]

Notes

• Tries SIGTERM first, falls back to SIGKILL if the process doesn't exit within 2 seconds
• If you get a permission error, re-run with sudo
• macOS and Linux only (uses lsof and ps under the hood)
