+++ title = "Dangling Process Closer" summary = "A simple script for Firebase Emulators to close dangling processes." date = 2022-04-28 +++

This script was developed while building a Firebase app that had a local emulator run. Often, this emulator would freeze up and not close properly, so opening up a Task Manager (I used Process Hacker because it's easier) and manually close the dangling java.exe process.

This became so common and disruptive that I created a little script to find and kill the process for me.

It's not that big of a deal, but I gotta add content to this site, so why not...
