zaport

Gracefully close all processes on a specific port. Target TCP, UDP or both.

⚡️

Note This module is currently working for me on my mac, but currently, a bug is keeping it from running on windows and it needs unit tests. I don't have time to focus on these issues right now, so if you are willing to help out, pull requests are welcome. 😎

Install

$ npm install --global zaport

Usage

$ zaport --help

Close all activity on a given port. Only zaps TCP ports by default.

     Usage
       $ zaport <port> <options>

     Options
       -t, --tcp   only zap TCP activity (default)
       -u, --udp   only zap UDP activity
       -a, --all   zap all TCP/UDP activity
       -l, --list  lists the pids without zapping
       
     Examples
       $ zaport 8010 -a
       $ zaport 8010 --all
       $ zaport 8010 -t

Notes

Because zaport targets TCP by default, all three of these commands are the same:

$ zaport 8010
$ zaport 8010 --tcp
$ zaport 8010 -t

If you want to get a list of pids running on the port without zapping the activity, use -l or --list:

$ zaport 8010 --list
$ zaport 8010 -l
