You can use the shell object to submit a Unix command and get back a
result. For instance, if you put the following code in a pushbutton
action event:
dim sh as new shell
dim s as string
sh.execute "ls -l"
s = sh.result
msgbox s
the variable s will contain the (Unix-style) listing of the current
directory.
The Unix command you need to kill your process (instead of ls -l) is
something like
kill -9 xxx
where xxx is the name of the process you want to kill.
If you need more information on the kill command (such as the
parameter -9) you can use the terminal process to call up the Unix
manual pages, through something like
man kill
Note that Unix commands are case-sensitive.

You could try using the shell object to execute a Unix kill
command aimed at your "faceless" app. Works for OSX as well as Linux.

Would you show me how ?
Thanks!
