The xkill program runs on the server. Remember that in the wonderful world of X, the server is the piece of software that runs on the machine connected to the monitor that displays the windows. The client is the program that tells the server what to display. Under X it can, theoretically, run anywhere with a network connection to your machine. I think xkill simply kills all windows registered under the same process, and the client (program) dies with a "lost connection with X" error. regards Anders On Wednesday 07 November 2001 17.03, Nick Battle wrote:

Ah! So it runs at the client and and can "see" the other process. I thought it might be the server doing something clever, but that sounded wrong.
