Here's what I've done: You can get a list of the processes in long form
using "ps -axw -o pid,command", which will give you a list of file paths for
each file along with its process ID. You can then kill it using "kill -9".
Here's the functions I use:
function GetPID pAppName
-- Note: Requires applications to be within the first 132 characters of
the path name
if char -4 to -1 of pAppName <> ".app" then
put ".app" after pAppName -- just in case
end if
put shell("ps -axw -o pid,command") into tProcList
put lineOffset("/" & pAppName & "/",tProcList) into tLine
if tLine <> 0 then
return (word 1 of line tLine of tProcList)
else
return 0
end if
end GetPID
on KillProcess pPID
if pPID <> 0 then
get shell("kill -9 " & pPID)
else
return "Process not found."
end if
end KillProcess
And then I call it like this:
on mouseUp
KillProcess (GetPID("MyApp.app"))
if the result <> "" then
answer "Error: " & the result
else
-- rest of my code here
end if
end mouseUp
Hope this helps,
