sorry jimmy but you lost me somewhere, my first question was if issuing
'killall -9 mozilla' would also include sending a signal to the
mozilla-bin process (i dont know if killall will only send signals to
exact matches).
the second question was assuming the command was saved to a file and a
paramter is passed to it, would the passed parameter mess with the
workings of the awk part of the 'script' since it uses $1 which will
then be holding the parameter to 'killmoz'?
ciao!
