What it claims

WhatThePort for Linux is a tool that shows which dev servers are still running, which project started each one, and how much RAM each uses. This post is an update after the launch: the author, G (@gg_guy03), rewrote it in Rust in response to launch feedback. The rewrite brings back a color-coded memory bar, adds a hover view of each server's share of RAM, and gives clearer errors when a stop or restart cannot run. The hover and memory bar mean it has a graphical interface alongside the CLI, and it supports restarting servers as well as stopping them.

How to use it

The post links to a GitHub repository under a whattheport-li… path; the full URL is truncated on the page. The terminal commands are:

wtp
wtp stop <port>
wtp --json

wtp lists every server, wtp stop <port> stops one, and wtp --json gives output for scripts. A stop kills the whole process tree, and the author states the tool never touches databases.

Limits

A reply on the thread reports a session-matching flaw found by reading the source; the reviewer says they have not run the Linux app. The Codex resolver keeps only the newest transcript per working directory. If chat A starts a server and chat B later works in the same directory, chat B can be shown as the session that started it. The reviewer asks whether folder-based matches could be labeled "estimated"; the page does not show a response. The post gives no install steps, supported distributions, licence or version number.
