Kill Process Workflow

[mtrifiro]

Works with Catalina

 

I just installed this on Catalina 10.15.4 (19E266) and it works perfectly.

It seems to work fine on Big Sur, too. Running macOS 11.1 (20C69) here, and … it kills, for example locally running web servers by port, command line programme by name (and apps too).

 

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this!

Can we please have an option to relaunch an app, not just kill it? For example if we hold the Shift key with "kill" the workflow can forcequit and relaunch the app, that would be very useful!

That's a great idea! I'm afraid I don't have time to add this at the moment, but, if anyone feels up to it, they're more than welcome to submit a pull request on the GitHub repo. Thanks!

 

6 years late, but I just came across this workflow and I really like how well-designed it is, so I've submitted a pull request to add the kill-and-relaunch feature. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to do it without changing the output format from XML to JSON (see relevant bug report), which meant dropping support for Alfred 2. The workflow can be downloaded here.

Editing the workflow in a later version of Alfred breaks backwards compatibility, anyway.
