lsof

Lists open files and the corresponding processes.

  • Find the processes that have a given file open:

lsof {{/path/to/file}}

  • Find the process that opened a local internet port:

lsof -i :{{8080}}

  • Only output the process PID (e.g. to pipe into kill):

lsof -t {{/path/to/file}} | xargs kill -9
