Better to type:

    ps aux | grep cinelerra

and save your eyeballs.  Or try "pkill cinelerra" if you have pkill.

Also, if a plain kill doesn't free things up, try "kill -9 xxxx" or
"pkill -9 cinelerra".

the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a
goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just
stupid. -- James Watson
