Neither do the "terminate > task", "suspend task" or "interrupt task" commands (available from > right-click in Konsole). If you want to completely kill python, open another Konsole session and kill it from there. There are several ways. The simplist is: killall python ....which will kill python without killing the Konsole session. This will find the python pid number and kill it with -15 which cleans everything up nicely before killing. If that doesn't work, you may need to use kill -9, which is kill with extreme prejudice and leaves all the bodies lying around to crap up the works. To do that, try: ps aux | grep python .....which will give you the pid number and then you plug it into: kill -9 pid_number If all that doesn't work, change to Slackware! ;) nb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
