Kill Command

STILL IN BETA

So...I heard some processes of yours aren't behaving!
I will hunt the ones that cross the line and let you know. And if you want them gone, just trust your friend here.

You can specify the threshold to be alerted when any process crosses the line, or even define a limit which should kill any process that dares crossing it!

You're welcome.

Also, how to kill any process that is using a given port, you ask? Yeah, just let me know which port you want to free and I take care of that for you.

Install

npm install -g killcommand

Running it

killcommand [command] [--options]

Developing

If you want to run it locally while applying changes to it, you can clone the project, then run it like this:

node ./cli.js --interactive --verbose [--other-options]

This way you can see the logs and abort it more easily.
