How to combine "lsof -i: port" and "kill pid" in bash

Question

How to combine these two commands in bash:

lsof -i :port kill pid 

The first returns the PID I want to kill in order to free the port. The second one kills the returned PID.

I do this because I don’t know how to kill the dock web server in the Netbeans IDE on OSX. Is there any way?

Answer 1

You can use $ ():

 kill $(lsof -t -i:port) 

Answer 2

you can use

 kill -9 `lsof -t -i:port`
