Hi :) In Debain family maybe "pkill" might be better to kill a named process rather than by it's id? Wouldn't a "kill" (or "pkill") command also mean the next time you open LibreOffice it'll try to recover a file?
I'm not sure about any of this so i'm just wondering. I tend to stay as far away from the command-line as possible but occasionally find myself doing odd things there.
