My understanding is that a TERM signal will do the same as a "tell app X to quit". You will need to find a way to run the kill or killall with superuser (root) privileges to kill your wife's daemon, though. >>> 3. Do I need to kill the Alerts Daemon too? >> >> Erm...

In Activity Monitor it shows up simply as "Database Daemon", but from the shell, in the output of 'ps', it shows as "Microsoft Database Daemon". The Login Item shows as "Microsoft Database Daemon" as well. This is on a system that has never run any version of Office other than 2004. -Remo Del Bello -- "What happened to us Marge?
