How to write a shscript to kill -9 a pid which is found via lsof -i

There is a -t (terse) option in lsof, which seems to do exactly what you are looking for i.e.

$ sudo lsof -ti tcp:80
1387
4538
4539

See man lsof

-t       specifies  that  lsof should produce terse output with process
         identifiers only and no header - e.g., so that the output  may
         be piped to kill(1).  -t selects the -w option.

Assuming you have the necessary permissions, you can pass the result to kill as a list of PIDs with command substitution:

kill -9 $(lsof -ti tcp:80)

Do not forget the --no-run-if-empty option of kill :)

lsof -ti :8080 | xargs --no-run-if-empty kill -9

That way kill will only be run there is a process listening, not need to do the check yourself.

lsof -i tcp:8080 produces the output, then | egrep -v "COMMAND PID USER" drops the header line, then | awk '{print $2}' prints the 2nd field, | sort -n prepares the numbers for | uniq, which only outputs each unique PID once. Putting it all together gives:

 lsof -i tcp:8080 | egrep -v "COMMAND PID USER" | awk '{print $2}' | sort -n | uniq  

But, pkill -KILL tomcat or killall -KILL tomcat is easier.
