I have a 9.3 system (fairly stock) running amsn 0.95 with the following problem. amsn crashes leaving wish running. Using ksysguard to kill the wish process (pid owner == user of ksysguard) doesn't always work, opening a terminal and using kill (pid number) doesn't work, nor does killall -e wish. Am I missing something in the kill command that would cause it to fail to kill the given pid and in killall to kill a given process by name?
try ps aux | grep wish kill -9 pid
both as user and after su.
Thanks Carl. I'll give it a try. My wife is also having the same sort of trouble with the same app so I ought to be able to try this out sooner as opposed to later.
