Sometimes Wine locks up. win32 things explode and I want to nuke everything and start again. This usually involves me going through the process list, killing each process. I'll miss a few occasionally and, on a bad day, it can take me a minute before everything's where I want it to be. I have just read a method for nuking wineserver (wineserver -k) safely but I'm curious to know if there's a catch-all command for killing everything that started up as a result of my initial wine command. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Use it with care: it will kill all processes with that name regardless of which user is running them unless you use the -u option. It can also take a list of process names or a regular expression that matches several processes. See "man killall" for full details. Martin

Simple as that. You can also use wine taskmgr for a ctrl-alt-delete style Windows task manager, where you can kill Wine processes individually.
