Hi Steve,
I haven't run Netscape in quite a while, so I can't test the process
tree
myself, but you probably have a parent process somewhere that you can kill
that's not named 'navigator-smoti'. Do a 'ps -A' and look for another
navigator process with a lower pID. Also, the 'pstree' command, if installed,
will show you the processes in tree form and you can track down the parents
much more easily.
As a sidenote, don't start off 'kill -9' ing it. I forget the golden
order
of kills, but you should try HUP (1), INT (2), and I think TERM (15) before
KILL (9). There's a whole thread as to why from about a week or two ago on
the subject here in debian-user if you want to look in the archives for it.
