For situations like that, I rather like the "killall" command. Instead of me having to find all the Firefox, for example, instances that are jamming, and all their process ids, then issue commands per id (usually the smallest id takes the lot out, but not always). I can issue "killall firefox" a few times, until it dies and I see a "no process found" response (no more of them to kill). Though usually once is enough. It also takes a "-9" parameter, for the times that you need a "when I say 'woh' I mean 'woh'!" command. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 (always current details of the computer that I'm writing this email on) Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
