Find the PID of a process that uses a port on Windows

Question

My service crash on startup with the classic   java rmi server ExportException  Listen failed on port  9999   How can I find the process for killing it

User · Answer

If you want to do this programmatically you can use some of the options given to you as follows in a PowerShell script:

$processPID =  $($(netstat -aon | findstr "9999")[0] -split '\s+')[-1]
taskkill /f /pid $processPID

However; be aware that the more accurate you can be the more precise your PID result will be. If you know which host the port is supposed to be on you can narrow it down a lot. netstat -aon | findstr "0.0.0.0:9999" will only return one application and most llikely the correct one. Only searching on the port number may cause you to return processes that only happens to have 9999 in it, like this:

TCP    0.0.0.0:9999                        0.0.0.0:0       LISTENING       15776
UDP    [fe80::81ad:9999:d955:c4ca%2]:1900  *:*                             12331

The most likely candidate usually ends up first, but if the process has ended before you run your script you may end up with PID 12331 instead and killing the wrong process.

Just open a command shell and type  saying your port is 123456    netstat -a -n -o   find  123456    You will see everything you need   The headers are    Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State           PID  TCP    0 0 0 0 37             0 0 0 0 0              LISTENING       1111

After some fiddling with a script I came to this action  Copy and save it in a  bat file   FOR  F  usebackq tokens 5    i IN   netstat -aon    find  3306    DO taskkill  F  PID   i   Change  find  3306   in the port number which needs to be free  Then run the file as administrator  It will kill all the processes running on this port

This helps to find PID using port number    lsof -i tcp port number

Command   netstat -aon   findstr 4723   Output   TCP    0 0 0 0 4723           0 0 0 0 0                LISTENING       10396   Now cut the process ID   10396   using the for command in Windows   Command   for  f  tokens 5   a in   netstat -aon    findstr 4723   do  echo   nxa   Output   10396  If you want to cut the 4th number of the value means  LISTENING  then command in Windows   Command   for  f  tokens 4   a in   netstat -aon    findstr 4723   do  echo   nxa   Output   LISTENING
