'killall mozilla' will kill all mozilla ->processes. Just don't use this on a unix system, on which killall kills all ->processes (AIUI)!! I would first open a terminal and use top to see what the process is actually called..in this case it's mozilla-bin. If you do "killall mozilla-bin" it will get all open Mozilla processes. I'm not sure which Unix your telling him not to use killall but as far as Solaris goes..any version before 2.6 doesn't even have a command called killall and with 2.7 (or 7 for the marketing people out there) you had pkill which did pretty much what killall does. But for Solaris 2.8 and 2.9 they indeed have a command called killall and the usage is pretty much the same as on any Linux system. I've never run into a killall command on any BSD or AIX system I've used. I'm interested in what Unix OS has a killall command that kills every pid. :) -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.
