killall can do it by name and take regexps, on Linux and MacOS. So if you give them a distinctive name scheme, that would work. Say all your processes start with k1-, you can use On Mac: killall -m "k1-*" and on Linux: killall -r "k1-*" -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
