It seems not to be, so this script do it. $ cat /bin/killall ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -15 " $1); }' sleep 1 ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -2 " $1); }' sleep 1 ps -ea | grep $1 | awk '$1 ~ /^[^SI]/ { system("kill -1 " $1); }' Regards Ralf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
