My reading of the "killall" man page is that it works on command names. For my script, "pstop palemoon" stops all instances of Pale Moon. But my script greps the entire line, so "pstop slashdot" will stop the process... /home/waltdnes/pm/palemoon/palemoon -new-instance -p slasdot Does "killall" have that ability to stop a process based on any parameters in the command line? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
