Kill process on port

Kill process on port.md

Use lsof to find the process using port 3055, then kill it by PID in Terminal.[1][2]

Step 1: Find the PID on port 3055

Run this in Terminal:

sudo lsof -i :3055

This lists processes using port 3055; look in the PID column to get the process ID you want to stop.[2][3]

Step 2: Kill the process

Once you have the PID (replace 12345 with the actual number):

kill 12345

If the process does not stop, you can force kill it (more aggressive, use only if needed):

kill -9 12345

This frees port 3055 so another app can bind to it.[4][1][2]

One-line shortcut

If you just want a quick one-liner for that specific port:

kill -15 $(lsof -t -i :3055)

This finds the PID using port 3055 and sends it a normal terminate signal in one command.[5][6]
