I can't tell from your output, but the licq process must be owned by the same user that is running killall. Also, sometimes processes are stubborn. When you run "killall licq" what you are running is "killall -TERM licq", because SIGTERM is the default signal it sends if you don't specify one. A more forceful signal is SIGKILL, which you can send these processes by running: $ killall -KILL licq or $ killall -9 licq Does that work? - richard -- Richard Kilgore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
