kill-process-on-port
Cross-platform CLI to kill whatever is holding a TCP port hostage.
Why
EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::3000 — every developer’s daily toll. Linux has fuser, macOS has lsof, Windows has netstat plus a two-step lookup. All three need different commands and different flags.
kill-process-on-port is one command that works on all three:
npx kill-process-on-port 3000It finds the process bound to the port and kills it. That’s the whole tool. Use it in npm scripts, CI, or anywhere you’d otherwise copy-paste a platform-specific snippet.
