--- title: I built a CLI for the process/port commands I could never remember published: true description: proc - a simple CLI that replaces lsof, ps aux | grep, and kill with unified syntax. Target by port, PID, or name. tags: #showdev #opensource #cli #productivity cover_image: https://coderlegion.com/?qa=image&qa_blobid=15314426688882211098&qa_size=750 # Use a ratio of 100:42 for best results. # published_at: 2026-02-05 18:02 +0000 --- If you're like me and you google ```lsof -i :3000 or ps aux | grep node | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'``` at least once a month, I built something for you. ```bash # What's on port 3000? proc on :3000 # Kill it proc kill :3000 # What ports is node using? proc on node # What processes are running in current directory? proc in . # Find node processes in current directory proc by node --in . # What's running this script? proc for ./server.py # Kill multiple things at once proc kill :3000,:8080,node ``` Same syntax everywhere: :port, PID, or name. # Install ```bash # macOS brew install yazeed/proc/proc # Windows scoop bucket add proc https://github.com/yazeed/scoop-bucket-proc && scoop install proc # Rust cargo install proc-cli # npm npm install -g proc-cli # Nix nix profile install github:yazeed/proc # Or just curl it curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yazeed/proc/main/install.sh | bash ``` # Links - GitHub: https://github.com/yazeed/proc - Written in Rust, works on macOS/Linux/Windows, MIT licensed Feedback welcome.
