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 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
