If the processes are still listed, then yes. What I would do is: ps -Af |grep ^<first 5 letters of your username> And then a 'kill <PID>' for any PID's listed. If that doesn't kill them off, resort to a 'kill -9 <PID>'. That should take care of any potential problems. There's probably a better way to do this, but as I said, this is how _I_ would do it. :) (Btw, the reason for only using the first 5 letters of your username is that ps -Af only shows 7 characters of the username for me. So I do the first 5 just in case it decides to drop to only displaying 6 or so for some reason.) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
