Specifically, it uses wish to "send" a Gm::remoteExit command to each "wish" it can find (via "winfo interps"). Gm::remoteExit takes the session PID ($GIS_LOCK) as an argument, and only terminates if the process belongs to that session. There are many ways that this can fail to terminate a gis.m process which should be terminated, but it's highly unlikely[1] to cause problems for unrelated processes. [1] Although theoretically possible. Because it only checks the PID, and not the hostname, you could have two GRASS sessions on different hosts but with the same PID, both running gis.m on the same X display. In this case, both gis.m processes would be terminated. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
