Task Kill a PID blocking a port on Windows

Using npm scripts in parallelshell I got into a situation that a crash on it made node not quit gracefully and could not restart script as node was still listening to port 9090 (live-reload). this scripts find the process and kill it

Note: find command only works on command line

Get PID:

netstat -ano | find "9090"

Kill process with PID:

taskkill -F -PID 123456
