fuser: Kill all processes with a TCP connection on a specific port.
$ fuser --kill ${port}/tcp
try on your machine
The command "fuser --kill ${port}/tcp" is used to kill all processes running on a specific TCP port.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
fuser
: A command-line tool used to identify processes that are using specific files, directories, or network sockets.--kill
: A flag used to send a signal to the identified processes to terminate them.${port}/tcp
: This is a variable indicating the specific port number you want to target. You should replace${port}
with the actual port number you want to kill the processes on, followed by "/tcp" to specify that it is a TCP port.
By executing this command, any processes currently utilizing the specified TCP port will receive a termination signal, forcing them to stop.
