You can use release-port
as a global package.
Install the package globally:
$ npm install --global release-port
# OR
$ yarn global add release-port
Then:
$ release-port --port 8080
# OR
$ release-port 9000
# OR you can use UDP
$ release-port 9000 --method udp
You can also kill multiple ports:
$ release-port --port 8080,5000,3000
# OR
$ release-port 9000 3000 5000
You can also use npx to release-port
without installing:
# Kill a single port
$ npx release-port --port 8080
$ npx release-port 8080
# Use UDP
$ npx release-port 9000 --method udp
# Kill multiple ports
$ npx release-port --port 8080,5000,3000
$ npx release-port 9000 3000 5000
