If you have a service running on a port on your Ubuntu Linux Server and want to kill it, you can achieve it by using the kill command,
Step 1: Identify the service running and get its Process Id (PID)
Syntax: sudo lsof -I:{PORT}# sudo lsof -i:80
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
nginx 2785 root 6u IPv4 39198 0t0 TCP *:89 (LISTEN)
nginx 2785 root 7u IPv6 39199 0t0 TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
As you can see I have made use of lsof command to see if I have my Nginx localhost server running on the device
Step 2: Kill the Service on the port using PID
Syntax: kill -9 {PID}kill -9 2785
Kill the service in one single line
sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -I:{PORT})
