Usage Scenarios
- Check before installing software
- Check port 5432 before installing PostgreSQL - If occupied, ask user whether to free it
- Service startup recording
- Record ports like 2375, 5432 when starting Docker - Quickly see which services should run after restart
- Port conflict resolution
- Two services fighting for the same port - Auto-assign new port or free old port
