PortKill

Overview

PortKill is a lightweight developer utility that repeatedly scans configurable network port ranges to identify processes by name or PID and safely terminates them using a termination strategy. It also supports clearing stale build caches and can be configured to ignore specific ports or processes to reduce noise making it useful for freeing up ports quickly during development workflows.
