I've often struggled to find and kill a process using a certain port on archlinux. Mainly becuase most guides use netstat rather than `ss`. Here is how I just killed the process using port 5000 using `fuser`. ``` bash sudo fuser -k 5000/tcp ``` You can also get information about the process by running `lsof` ``` bash ❯ lsof -i :5000 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME thoughts 1058292 waylon 11u IPv4 119622828 0t0 TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN) ``` !!! note This post is a thought. It's a short note that I make about someone else's content online #thoughts
