// Option 1: if you have npm@5.2.0^ version
npx kill-port 8080
// Linux
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i tcp:8080)
// Windows command line:
for /f "tokens=5" %a in ('netstat -aon ^| find ":8080" ^| find "LISTENING"') do taskkill /f /pid %a
// Windows bat-file:
for /f "tokens=5" %%a in ('netstat -aon ^| find ":8080" ^| find "LISTENING"') do taskkill /f /pid %%a
You want to use backtick not regular tick:
sudo kill -9 `sudo lsof -t -i:9001`
If that doesn't work you could also use $() for command interpolation:
sudo kill -9 $(sudo lsof -t -i:9001)
