You tried, and the philosophy here is that the only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked. Actually, you got more than one way of doing it in a script - even *BEFORE* you reminded us that it was in a script. There were several references to the killall command. This command uses the name of an application instead of the pid. For example: if program 'abc' is running and you want to kill it (either at a command line or in a script), the command killall abc would terminate all instances of that program without referencing the pid directly. To get some more information on the "killall" command, open a console and enter the command man killall and read the manual pages on it -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAvOJZjeziQOokQnARAvBaAKCBVsYjSnTub0rqDecLe/zyLDrAwQCgjx5F IcWNLRQzEcSErc7c7h+5huw= =hHKe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
