Kill tomcat service running on any port, Windows

Question

Kill tomcat service running on any port, Windows using command promt like 8080/ 8005

Solution 1

1) Go to (Open) Command Prompt (Press Window + R then type cmd Run this).

2) Run following commands

For all listening ports

netstat -aon | find /i "listening"

Apply port filter

netstat -aon |find /i "listening" |find "8080"

Finally with the PID we can run the following command to kill the process

3) Copy PID from result set

taskkill /F /PID

Ex: taskkill /F /PID 189

Sometimes you need to run Command Prompt with Administrator privileges

Done !!! you can start your service now.

Solution 2

netstat -ano | findstr :3010

taskkill /F /PID

But it won't work for me

then I tried taskkill -PID <processorid> -F

Example:- taskkill -PID 33192 -F Here 33192 is the processorid and it works

Solution 3

Based on all the info on the post, I created a little script to make the whole process easy.

@ECHO OFF
netstat -aon |find /i "listening"

SET killport=
SET /P killport=Enter port: 
IF "%killport%"=="" GOTO Kill

netstat -aon |find /i "listening" | find "%killport%"

:Kill
SET killpid=
SET /P killpid=Enter PID to kill: 
IF "%killpid%"=="" GOTO Error

ECHO Killing %killpid%!
taskkill /F /PID %killpid%

GOTO End
:Error
ECHO Nothing to kill! Bye bye!!
:End

pause

very useful - coming from ease of using linux shell commands to windows .... above command have been very useful

Or you could go a bit unnecessarily mad and put it all together on one line like so (adjust for port number!) for /f "skip=1 tokens=5" %1 in ('netstat -aon ^| find "8080"') do taskkill /F /PID %1

@ScalaEnthusiast I would gladly do that if I was comfortable in batch scripting. To me it seems more complex.

I would add a double colon in front of the port to prevent an accidental lookup in the PID column. So: for /f "skip=1 tokens=5" %1 in ('netstat -aon ^| find ":8080"') do taskkill /F /PID %1
