To me, 8xxx is for proxy servers.

Yeah, I have a function `whoseport` which is just your subcommand. I usually manually type kill or whatever I want with `$(whoseport 3000)`

Nice. I have this too. I wanted something more visual and expansive.

It's just a tool I built for myself. There's no business case. It just helps me

This.

Why in the hell would anyone want to kill random processes that open a port in the tange 2000-6000? And why is this need so pressing as to require a full blown monitor integrated in a task bar?

Without context, this sounds like a complete random silly project that makes no sense and serves no purpose at all.

The README already has a rather repugnant LLM-ish feel to it; lots of lists and verboseness, while saying very little.

Also, this is a perplexing choice (which also serves to illustrate the above point regarding verboseness):

    White background with red center: 1-9 processes (some development servers) 
    White background with orange center: 10+ processes (many development servers)

the ascii tree in "Project Structure" is a dead giveaway that AI is used in this project

Why would you need to do that?

Not sure I can add images here, but if you check the repo, I'll be adding one shortly.

a couple of prompts of claude code gave me this, works well enough, but while I agree that this is sometimes useful, it may indeed better served by a couple of aliases in the terminal ``` #!/bin/bash

# SwiftBar Port Monitor # Monitors processes on TCP ports 2000-6000

# Menu bar title echo " Ports" echo "---"

# Get processes listening on TCP ports 2000-6000 processes=$(lsof -iTCP:2000-6000 -sTCP:LISTEN -n -P 2>/dev/null | awk 'NR>1 {print $2 "|" $1 "|" $9}' | sort -t'|' -k3 -n)

if [ -z "$processes" ]; then echo "No processes found on ports 2000-6000" exit 0 fi

# Process each line while IFS='|' read -r pid name port_info; do if [ -n "$pid" ] && [ -n "$name" ] && [ -n "$port_info" ]; then # Extract port number from format like :3000 port=$(echo "$port_info" | sed 's/.://')

        # Menu item with port and process name
        echo "[$port] $name | color=blue"
        
        # Submenu items
        echo "--Kill (TERM) | shell=kill param1=$pid terminal=false refresh=true"
        echo "--Kill Force (KILL) | shell=kill param1=-9 param2=$pid terminal=false refresh=true"
        echo "--Process Info | shell=ps param1=-p param2=$pid param3=-o param4=pid,ppid,user,command terminal=true"
        echo "-----"
    fi
