To show list of PID on a port:

  • lsof -t -i :YOUR_PORT_NUMBER

top command will show a list of all running processes and various statistics about each process. It’s usually most helpful to sort by processor usage or memory usage, and to do that you’ll want to use the -o flag

  • top -o cpu | grep :YOUR_PORT_NUMBER shows details of the respective pid

To kill a process by PID:

  • kill :YOUR_PORT_NUMBER
