With my relative meager memory (computer ;) ) I regularly run into problems when I receive a Skype call from abroad. In case of an incoming call I kill in a hurry all the running programs one by one. I wonder if I could make a button which would kill all regularly running programs in one sweep. Is there any negative effect if I would kill KMail, Firefox and Motv with a bash file? How would such a bash file look?

Some things like firefox have a script that starts them as well as the binary. For that reason I'd suggest using "pkill' instead.
