Try man pkill Next time before posting (and possible getting your ass flamed ) to this list try man -k KEYWORD In your example KEYWORD would be "kill" and magic: man -k kill baudrate, erasechar, has_ic, has_il, killchar, longname, termattrs, termname (3) - curses environment query routines kill (1) - terminate or signal a process kill (2) - send signal to a process killpg (3) - send signal to a process group pgrep, pkill (1) - find or signal processes by name pthread_kill (3) - send a signal to a specified thread rotatelogs (8) - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the server XSetCloseDownMode, XKillClient (3X11) - control clients texteroids (1) - test your mousing skills on spinning text xkill (1) - kill a client by its X resource > I am an OpenBSD neophyte and couldn't track this down in the archives. > If this has been covered before please let me know how to track this > information down. > > I would like to schedule mplayer to record a radio station's online feed > but can't figure out how to stop process.

Using crontab to end a process
I am an OpenBSD neophyte and couldn't track this down in the archives. If this has been covered before please let me know how to track this information down. I would like to schedule mplayer to record a radio station's online feed but can't figure out how to stop process. In Linux I was able to use killall mplayer. But that doesn't appear to be an option under OpenBSD. What do I need to do? Kent Kostuk
