Identifying and Killing a Process Listening on Port 8080
To identify and potentially kill a process listening on port 8080, follow these steps:
- Find the process ID (PID) associated with the listening port. You can do this by using the
netstatcommand in your terminal: - Once you have the PID, you can use the
killcommand to stop the process: - To verify that the process has been killed, you can run the
netstatcommand again:
$ netstat -nao | grep 8080
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN 12345/node
$ kill -9 12345
$ netstat -nao | grep 8080 tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN (not available)
