Or pkill rdiff-backup Or, more severely pkill -9 rdiff-backup pkill -KILL rdiff-backup I like the second form because it makes me think about the signal I really want to send. It's easier to transpose digits, rending "-9" as something unwanted. -- Paul Heinlein <> [email protected] <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
