How to kill a process running on particular port in linux?

Question

When I used ./shutdown.sh to stop the tomcat, it didn’t stop the server properly . Can anyone tell me how to get the list of processes running on a specific port (8080) to kill it? 

Answer 1

To get the list of processes which runs on a specific port number with process ID. Use the command below: 

 sudo netstat -plten |grep java

 The output will be: 

tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      

1000       30070621    16085/java

 Here the process ID is : 16085(the number before \java) 

 To kill the process 

kill -9 16085 (-9 will kill the process forcefully)
