### Port Manager Extension

The Port manager extension lists open ports and allows to [kill](https://ss64.com/osx/kill.html) the processes which open them. It allows killing either with the default **SIGTERM** signal or **SIGKILL**, which can't be ignored by the process.

It also offers the ability to copy information about the process (PID, Name, Parent PID, User name, User UID) or a `kill` command to paste in a terminal.

#### Use Sudo

The settings provide the option to *run `Isof` and `kill` commands with sudo (as root)*, which is deactivated by default. Before activating the option, make sure your user is set up for [passwordless use of the sudo command](https://osxdaily.com/2014/02/06/add-user-sudoers-file-mac/). However, if you don't already know what this means or how to do it, you **probably shouldn't do it**. Doing it poses an considerable security risk and (if done wrongly) might break your macOS installation. If you still wanna do it, make sure to use `visudo`. **You have been warned**.

Despite the aforementioned risks, I included the option because it adds an essential functionality: To see processes which are not owned by your own user.
