A simple CLI tool to kill a process by port This is a simple hobby project made by me to gain some experience in working with rust.
I felt exhaused by using kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:PORT) everytime I wanted to kill a process by port, so I made this tool.

Usage

clone the repo:

sh git clone https://github.com/anudeep652/rust-kill-process.git

sh cd rust-kill-process

sh cargo run -- PORT

Remember to replace PORT with the port number you want to kill

OR

Create an executable to run it locally anywhere in your local machine after cloning the repo

sh cargo install --path .

Now you can run anywhere in your terminal like this:

sh p-kill PORT

'p-kill' is the executable name, you can change it in Cargo.toml and you need to again create an executable.

Future plans

• Add support for killing process by name
• Add support for killing process by PID
• Add better error handling
