If you want to kill a process running on port number 8080 then first you need to find the 8080 port process identification number(PID) and then kill it. Run the following command to find 8080 port number PID:

sudo lsof -t -i:8080

Here,

sudo - command to ask admin privilege(user id and password).
lsof - list of files(Also used for to list related processes)
-t - show only process ID
-i - show only internet connections related process
:8080 - show only processes in this port number

So you can now easily kill your PID using following command:

sudo kill -9 <PID>

Here,

kill - command to kill the process
-9 - forcefully

You can use one command to to kill a process on a specific port using the following command:

sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:8080)

Linux  First you can find PID of this command if you know the port    netstat -tulpn    example -   Local Address  Foreign Address  State    PID Program name       3000                        LISTEN    15986 node    You then take the kill process  run the following command   kill -9 PID  Expample  -   kill -9 15986

You can know list of all ports running in system along with its details  pid  address etc       netstat -tulpn   You can know details of a particular port number by providing port number in following command     sudo netstat -lutnp   grep -w   port number     ex   sudo netstat -lutnp   grep -w  8080  Details will be provided like this     Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID Program name   if you want to kill a process using pid then   kill -9  PID   if you want to kill a process using port number   fuser -n tcp  port number   use sudo if you are not able to access any

Use the command   sudo netstat -plten  grep java   used grep java as tomcat uses java as their processes   It will show the list of processes with port number and process id  tcp6       0      0    8080                                         LISTEN       1000       30070621    16085 java   the number before  java is a process id  Now use kill command to kill the process  kill -9 16085   -9 implies the process will be killed forcefully

I m working on a Yocto Linux system that has a limited set of available Linux tools  I wanted to kill the process that was using a particular port  1883    First  to see what ports we are listening to I used the following command   root root    netstat -lt Active Internet connections  only servers  Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State        tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 hostmon         0 0 0 0                 LISTEN       tcp        0      0 localhost localdomain domain 0 0 0 0                 LISTEN       tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 9080            0 0 0 0                 LISTEN       tcp        0      0 0 0 0 0 1883            0 0 0 0                 LISTEN       tcp        0      0    hostmon                                      LISTEN       tcp        0      0 localhost domain                                LISTEN       tcp        0      0    ssh                                          LISTEN       tcp        0      0    1883                                         LISTEN         Next  I found the name of the process using port 1883 in the following way   root root    fuser 1883 tcp 290  root root    ps   grep 290   290 mosquitt 25508 S     usr sbin mosquitto -c  etc mosquitto mosquitto conf 12141 root      8444 S    grep 290   As we can see above  it s the program  usr sbin mosquitto that s using port 1883   Lastly  I killed the process   root root    systemctl stop mosquitto   I used systemctl becuase in this case it was a systemd service

This prints to stdout the process ids of everything running on  lt port number gt        fuser -n tcp  lt port number gt     It also prints some stuff to stderr  so   fuser -n tcp  lt port number gt  2 gt   dev null   We can then supply these process ids to the kill command   sudo kill   fuser -n tcp  lt port number gt  2 gt   dev null    You could also put this in a function if you do it a lot   function killport         sudo kill   fuser -n tcp  1 2 gt   dev null

This fuser 8080 tcp will print you PID of process bound on that port   And this fuser -k 8080 tcp will kill that process   Works on Linux only  More universal is use of lsof -i4  or 6 for IPv6
