What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a safe and reliable way to start, monitor, and stop background processes by their unique Process ID (PID) across Windows, Linux, and macOS, preventing accidental termination of critical services and resolving port conflicts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PID-Based Control: Start processes in the background, find their PIDs, and terminate them precisely, avoiding dangerous name-based kills.
  • Port Conflict Resolution: Quickly identify and stop processes occupying a specific port, allowing you to start your desired application.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Utilize platform-specific commands (netstat, lsof, kill, taskkill) for consistent process management.
  • Use Case: When a test server fails to start because its port is already in use, use this Skill to identify the process occupying that port by its PID, then safely terminate it without affecting other running applications.

Quick Start

Start a Python server on port 8001 in the background, then find its PID and gracefully stop it, verifying its termination.
