# Close Port Tool
A simple Bash script to identify processes using a specified port, retrieve their process IDs (PIDs), and terminate them. This script requires superuser (sudo) permissions to run.
## Overview
The `closeport.sh` script is designed to help system administrators and users easily manage network ports by terminating any processes that are currently using a specified port.
## Features
- Takes a port number as an argument.
- Identifies if any processes are using the specified port.
- Retrieves the process IDs (PIDs) of these processes.
- Terminates the processes using the specified port.
- Provides feedback on whether any processes were found and terminated or if the port was unused.
## Requirements
- Bash shell
- `sudo` privileges
## Usage
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/isaka-james/closeport.git
```
2. **Navigate to the Repository**
```bash
cd closeport
```
3. **Make the Script Executable**
```bash
chmod +x closeport.sh
```
4. **Run the Script**
```bash
sudo ./closeport.sh
```
Replace `` with the port number you want to check and close. For example:
```bash
sudo ./closeport.sh 8080
```
## Example
If the script is run with port `8080` and there is a process using this port, you might see output like:
```
Process with PID 1234 is using port 8080 and has been terminated.
```
If no process is found using the specified port:
```
No process is using port 8080.
```
## Nerd Installation
```bash
sudo chmod +x closeport.sh && sudo mv closeport closeport && sudo mv closeport /usr/bin && echo "Installed successfully!"
```
So now you can type `sudo closeport 8080` to forcefully stop PORT 8080 in your MACHINE.
If you ever feel to uninstall it then type `sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/closeport`
