People,
This command exits the chrome process tree gracefully, in all window
managers:
pkill --oldest chrome
but it is not what I want to do - when Chrome goes mad and the whole
system starts grinding to a halt (I know from experience it is Chrome) I
want to try and work out what specific Chrome tab or window is the
problem. Chrome has its own task manager:
SHIFT ESC
but you can't kill a window with all its tabs from there.
Using:
ps aux | grep "beta\/chrome"
seems to indicate individual tabs?
Using:
xprop _NET_WM_PID
and clicking on the different windows always give the same id.
I wrote the script below using wmctrl and xkill to allow me to kill the
Chrome windows in reverse order of creation but killing the first Chrome
window kills all Chrome windows. The xkill man page says the "program
is very dangerous" and:
-id resource
This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose creator is
to be aborted.
- so it looks like aborting "creator" gets rid of everything.
Any suggestions about fixing my script to selectively kill single Chrome
windows?
Thanks,
Phil.
#!/bin/bash
wins=`wmctrl -l | sort -r`
IFS=$'\n' # bash 4
readarray -t winsarr <<< "$wins"
for win in "${winsarr[@]}"
do
IFS=' ' read id junk1 junk2 name <<< $win
echo "$id $name"
echo -n "Kill?: "
read junk
if [ "$junk" == "Y" ]; then
xkill -frame -id "$id"
fi
done
