Here's my thought on 💭 How to kill process based on the port number in Linux - Linux Tutorials - Learn Linux Configuration
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.
sudo fuser -k 5000/tcp
You can also get information about the process by running lsof
❯ lsof -i :5000 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME thoughts 1058292 waylon 11u IPv4 119622828 0t0 TCP *:commplex-main (LISTEN)
