how to kill proccess created by socket in python?-CodePudding

I have a problem with terminating a process created by socket in python.

So I wanted to create a UDP server in python, so I did socket.bind() to bind IP address and port to the server, I got some error in program and then again...I tried to use socket.bind() again, but it says it is already in use.

After a while I found out in Resource Monitor that I have this "connection" there.

My .py file:

serverIP = input()
serverPort = int(input())

server_socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)

try:
   server_socket.bind((serverIP, serverPort))
except OSError:
   print("Already in use")
   return

I cannot terminate in control panel that process because it says: Access denied.
I cannot terminate it through cmd with admin rights.
Reboot does not help.

Any ideas how to close it?

CodePudding user response：

Try to identify the PID of the process (with the task manager or the tasklist command

Then kill the task using powershell with taskkill /PID <PID_HERE>

EDIT : Apparently port 137 is used by NetBIOS Name Service, so check with the Windows firewall
