Re: [SuSE Linux] killing processes

Hi! Trying to kill the keyboard, mgx@spruce.lsd.ornl.gov produced:

of course, you could have the process write its PID to a file then use something like kill -9 'cat /path/to/process.pid.file'

... but of course you'd use -TERM or -HUP, not -KILL (== -9) so the process could close cleanly with no data loss. -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key".
