fkill-cli

Simple cross-platform process killer.

Source

fkill‑cli is a command‑line tool that terminates processes by PID, name, or network port on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It can be invoked with one or more identifiers, and optional flags control its behavior: `--force` forces termination, `--verbose` displays process arguments, `--silent` suppresses output, and `--force‑timeout` specifies a delay before forcing a kill. Matching is case‑insensitive by default, with `--case‑sensitive` and `--smart‑case` options to adjust sensitivity.

When run without arguments the tool opens an interactive interface that lists running processes, indicating high CPU or memory usage, and supports fuzzy searching to quickly locate a target. Ports are addressed by prefixing the number with a colon, for example `:8080`. The interface updates in real time and allows selection of multiple entries for batch termination.

The package is distributed via npm and can be installed globally. It is designed for developers who need a quick, cross‑platform way to manage and stop processes from the terminal, whether individually or in bulk, with optional verbosity or silent operation.
