Unfortunately, the answer to your question is "no"; see <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134909>. Depending on what window manager you use, there may be a way to tell the wm to close SeaMonkey's windows, which might effect a graceful exit. See <http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/WMIface?content=40425> and <http://tomas.styblo.name/wmctrl/>, but there's probably Ubuntu-specific info somewhere about controlling windows with scripts. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
