IDEA: Port free-er
(1/1)
vbmark:
Hello,
I need a certain port free for an app I use. However, when booting my PC, Windows will, on occasion, decide to use the port I want and therefore my app generates errors saying it cannot access the port.
Therefore, what I would like is an app that would, upon execution, kill whatever program is using that port.
The way I currently do it is I launch the command prompt and type "netstat /ano" to see what program has taken the port. Then I see what the program's PID is. Then I run Sysinternal's Process Explorer and show the PID column and then kill that program.
I would really like to tell some app, "hey, kill whatever is using port 1080", and save me some step.
Can this be done?
Thanks!
Mark

You could see the processes and the ports and kill the application directly from TcpView (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx). Probably is not exactly what you want but you will be able to identify and kill the process in fewer steps.

argv,
Cool tool. It is faster. I can use this for now.
Thank you!

vbmark, please give this a try: Porticullis
It's a commandline application and simple to use: Porticullis.exe <port number>
Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks.
