Thanks for the gimme ;-)  Here's what I have just figured out...  two
different ways to do just what I was thinking about.

1.  The quick and dirty way:

killall <processname>

In this case, "killall Author.exe" will work just fine.

2.  A more involved and elaborate way:

ps aux | grep <processname> | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs
kill -9


Do I get 2 points for this one?  :-)))

Chris
