Can anybody Have you ever heard of a command which kills any running Excel instance? The command kill is for cases where you want to terminate a program from an external command. You could of course build a shellscript which fetches all program ids of Xwin processes from the ps output and feed that to kill but there is (currently) no program which does this for you. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
