That's the important bit: *almost* every system has these commands and fixes. It's good to know the basic way to do things when you come across a system which doesn't.

ps -A | grep ktorrent followed by
kill seems to have cured the problem.
I have had to do such things that many times that I came up with a one liner :
ps -eafw | grep morituri | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
Disclaimers:
Different people have different favourite 'ps' invocations embedded in
their finger memories. The above is mine.
A purist would say there should be a 'grep -v grep |' in the pipeline
as well. A /real/ purist would say there shouldn't and that there
should be one grep with a regex.

Someone else would use pkill instead of the lot of it. ;)
Cheers,

On Solaris pkill does what you want, if it is available. On Solaris killall kills *all* processes. That's the kind of mistake you only make once ..

Found this had gone from a dummy address and that is why it hadn't arrived - sorry, Paul. On Sunday 17 May 2009 20:14:31 you wrote: Please tell us a bit about the machine. OS and version. What software you have running. Do you have bittorrent? - Sorry - I ought to have said those. They are not even in the real email I sent after my slip. Answers: I have ktorrent. Konqueror, Iceweasel, KMail were running. OS Lenny. Sorry about the broken threading. I am having to juggle between GMail and KMail in order to get the right sender's address on here. Will now reboot and check again for KTorrent via ps. Thanks for reminding me. Paul - you are a genius and I am an idiot. ps -A | grep ktorrent followed by kill seems to have cured the problem.
