Ah, leave it to Scott to bring us some grace.:) I haven't a clue what y'all are talking about. But I guess I should know this in case Alex ever decides to give me the silent treatment. I don't recall an initial post on this but better save these in a backup for future reference. To all who care: Happy Thanksgiving

I always just use -9 to ensure it actually quits, and it's just as efficient in the long-run. And, it's less parameters to type.

I prefer the use of killall -HUP VoiceOver as it forces a reset of voiceover without going through all the issues of restarting it via keystrokes. btw, you must capitalize the V and the O otherwise it will not find the process name. -Eric On Nov 24, 2010, at 1:53 AM, Geoff Waaler wrote: Greetings, I meant to reply to one of Nic's recent posts, but deleted it. He suggested that if VO goes silent one could enter terminal into spotlight and then enter -- I forget the exact command but believe it was killallall -9 voiceover. I tried this with and without the extra "all" and also tried inserting a space between the two alls, but only receive a message that no matching processes were found. I'd like to get this right in case I do experience a vo crash. May not have recalled the parm Nic mentioned, but I did use the one he specified (which may not have been -9). TIA for any clarification, and best regards. Geoff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
