Package: matchbox-keyboard
Version: 0.1+svn20080916-3
Severity: normal
Hallo,
I would like to mention that killall is not on every boxes. A standard
is pkill first to work.
pkill matchbox-keyboard does not work
it works with killall
please make sure that users can kill the process, since it can be
annyoing with splitting for some.
Best regards
Pat

process names ARE only 16 characters long. That's what they are in the
kernel. The command line can be longer and if you want to match against
that then use pkill -f
To see the difference, run the command
ps -e -o comm,cmd | grep <something>
The first column is what it matches on without -f, the second with -f.
