From my understanding, and the reason for me using different sessions in the first place, each session is completely separate. A site that I volunteer on, I have three accounts there. My personal account, a moderator account and a admin account. I have a separate session for each one which because they use different user name/passwords must be run separately. At times, I need to switch between users very quickly. So, it appears that each process runs its own PID and is separate. Sort of anyway. Again, that could be the problem but here is why I don't think it is. I have this same issue with Seamonkey even when there is only one process running. It's not as often but it does happen. I have also had this happen when there is only one session of Firefox running as well. Then there is the other processes that I have trouble getting to die as well. Some not even related to a GUI. When I switch to the boot runlevel, I have to manually kill several processes to get down to the things that should be running and nothing else. Oh, even if I close all the sessions, I still run into the issue of having to kill the processes. When they die, they all die as they should. When it is not dying as it should, none of them die until I kill them. It's either feast or famine. Again, could be on to something or maybe not. Open to ideas tho. I'm hoping the new info may help. This has been going on for a while. What can I look for or do to correct this? There is a workaround/kludge/ugly-hack. Notice that I said one process *PER USER*. I have another user user2 that I log in as to occasionally maintain static stuff that I only want my regular login to only see, but not modify/delete/etc. If you create a second user (let's call it user2), you can do the following... # Allow other logins/users on the same machine to use your display xhost +127.0.0.1 # Open up up an xterm/wahtever and su - user2 # Give password, and then, as user2 firefox As my regular user waltdnes, I can then... [i660][waltdnes][~] ps -ef | grep firefox waltdnes 28696 11663 2 19:35 pts/22 00:00:07 firefox user228791 28780 2 19:38 pts/900:00:01 firefox waltdnes 28836 28825 0 19:39 pts/30 00:00:00 grep --color=auto firefox From the ps output, waltdnes is running Firefox with pid 28696, and user as pid 28791. You can issue a kill command for the appropriate pid. Note that unless you're root, you can only kill your own processes. I almost always have a Konsole running as root. Seems there is always something that requires root permission to do. Open to ideas still. It's annoying so I'd like a fix. ;-) I may have a idea tho. Hey guys, watch this.

You are looking at the process list without any information about parent
and child processes.
Use pstree or pc with the -f option to see what is really going on
I had forgot about the pstree command. I don't have a pc command. What
package does it belong too? Here is a snippet of pstree.
├─kdeinit4─┬─firefox─┬─plugin-containe───8*[{plugin-containe}]
│ │ └─25*[{firefox}]
│ ├─firefox───28*[{firefox}]
│ ├─firefox───26*[{firefox}]
That is with three sessions of Firefox running. The only process deeper
than kdeinit is init itself. It seems that Seamonkey and Firefox both
run under kdeinit. It also seems to me that each one has its own process
and run separately. Does that mean this is a kdeinit or Firefox issue?
Am I looking at this correctly?
Thanks.
Dale
:-) :-)
