"evolution --force-shutdown" didn't work or still tries to "force" termination of all processes. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ strings /usr/lib/evolution/killev | grep kill kill No response from Evolution -- killing the process /usr/bin/pkill -f -x -TERM evolution 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -TERM evolution-alarm-notify 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -TERM evolution-source-registry 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -TERM evolution-addressbook-factory 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -TERM evolution-calendar-factory 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill killev I suspect that "TERM" is shortened for "SIGTERM". I might be mistaken. OTOH it anyway is the default. However, if so, I would sidestep "evolution --force-shutdown" to send a SIGKILL (-9), by simply replacing "-TERM" with "-9". /usr/bin/pkill -f -x -9 evolution 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -9 evolution-alarm-notify 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -9 evolution-source-registry 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -9 evolution-addressbook-factory 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/pkill -f -9 evolution-calendar-factory 2> /dev/null _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
