  • killPids(): Kill an array of pid
  • pidToCmd(): get the command that started a pid
  • portToPid(): find the pid go a given port
  • procList(): list all process running
  • procToPid(): find the pid for a given process name

Support

On linux the cmd ss is used, which works on ubuntu 16.04 and above.

Not implemented. PR welcome.

  • port
  • pid
  • process

TODOs

  • on windows check if powershell is present.
  • on linux check if ss is present.
  • improve docs for submodule
