Fkill Cli
fkill-cli is a cross-platform command line interface designed to search for and terminate system processes across different operating systems. It functions as a system process terminator that allows users to stop running applications using unique identifiers, names, or forced termination signals.
The tool features an interactive process manager that provides a visual, searchable interface for browsing active processes and selecting targets for termination without requiring a process ID. It also includes a network port cleaner to identify and kill specific processes occupying a network port using the port number.
The utility covers broader system administration capabilities, including interactive process monitoring and the ability to target processes by name or ID for immediate termination.
