Kill any process running on a given TCP port on **Windows**, **Linux** or **Mac**

## Install

```bash

$ npm install cross-port-killer -D

```

## Usage

```js

import { kill, killer } from 'cross-port-killer';

kill(9090).then(pids => {

  console.log(pids)

})

// you could also kill pids manually if you know them... this would save you bringing up another lib, you are welcome.

killer.killByPid(12345).then(() => console.log('done'))

killer.killByPids([12345, 54321]).then(() => console.log('done'))

```

This lib also comes with a `CLI`.

To kill any process occupying the port 9090 you can run:

```bash

$ npx cross-port-killer 9090

```

or

```bash

$ npm install cross-port-killer -g

```

```bash

$ kill-port 9090

```

## Dependencies

On **Linux**/**Mac** this library depends on `lsof` in case you don't have it installed (perhaps you are using docker?) run:

```bash

$ apt install lsof

```

On **Mac**, It comes with the OS by default so nothing to worry.
