I often have wine finish uncleanly or need to break in if it is misbehaving , this leaves some processes lying around and often means wine cannot be restarted correctly. I find killing it by hand labourious so I used the following command to clean up and have now defined it as an alias to make life easier. pgrep wine|while read p; do kill -9 $p ; done; It works nicely but just wondered if anyone would say OMG dont do that ! TIA.

in fact it seems even kill -9 cant clean up some times. bash-3.00#killwine kill -9 10666 kill -9 10690 bash-3.00#killwine kill -9 10666 kill -9 10690 bash-3.00#killwine kill -9 10666 kill -9 10690 bash-3.00# bash-3.00#pgrep wine -l 10666 wineserver 10690 wine-preloader bash-3.00# I took the system right down to the login console and still cant clean up. Do I really have to reboot as the only way to clean up this mess? This is taking windows emulation too far!! ;)

"killall -9 wine-preloader" works for me every time, however some older kernels have a bug which causes zombie processes (a placeholder for the process return code) to never be removed in the kernel. I think this was fixed around Linux 2.6.7 (ie. the unpatched Linux kernel). Mike

You should try out pkill to simplify it even further. [...]

Besides the zombie processes mentionned before, some processes may be stopped (e.g. by the debugger) and won't die until you send them a CONT signal. -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ f u kn rd ts, ur wy 2 gky 4 ur wn gd.

Thanks for all the replies, wineserver -k usually works but I still get some processes I cant kill: 15015 pts/5 Tl 0:01 /usr/bin/wine-preloader /usr/bin/wine-pthread natspeak kill -9 15015 kill -9 15015 kill -9 15015 is not able to kill this. closing the xterm did in this case lay it to rest. Thanks again.

After an untidy exit I get stuck with the following. I took it right down and even logout out of the initial login console using cntl-D bash-3.00#killwine kill -9 16322 kill -9 16406 bash-3.00#wineserver -k Segmentation fault bash-3.00#pgrep -l wine 16322 wineserver 16406 wine-preloader It really seems like all I can do here is init 0 !!
