Versions:
hashman is a command-line utility published by idleberg, currently available at version 0.2.2. The catalog records a single release for this software, meaning version 0.2.2 represents the only published iteration at the time of listing. The tool serves a focused and practical purpose: it allows users to terminate one or more running processes by specifying the port number those processes are bound to. This addresses a common and recurring problem in software development and system administration, where a process occupies a network port and prevents another application from binding to it, and where identifying the responsible process would otherwise require manually looking up port-to-process mappings before issuing a kill command. The primary use case for hashman is development workflow management. Developers frequently encounter situations in which a local server, database instance, or other networked service fails to shut down cleanly and continues to hold a port, producing errors when the service is restarted. With hashman, the offending process can be terminated directly by referencing the port it occupies, removing the need for multi-step lookups. The tool also supports killing multiple processes in a single invocation, which is useful when several services across different ports must be stopped at once, such as when resetting a local development environment or tearing down multiple concurrently running applications. In terms of classification, hashman falls into the category of command-line developer tools and system utilities, specifically within the subcategory of process and port management utilities. As a command-line tool, it is designed to be invoked from a terminal or shell environment and can be integrated into scripts or other automated workflows where processes must be stopped programmatically. The software is distributed under the publisher name idleberg, and its version 0.2.2 designation reflects an early-stage release. Since only one version is listed in the catalog, there are no earlier or later releases to compare, and users installing the software will receive version 0.2.2 as the current and sole available build of the tool.
