Thanks for all the replies, wineserver -k usually works but I still get some processes I cant kill: 15015 pts/5Tl 0:01 /usr/bin/wine-preloader /usr/bin/wine-pthread natspeak kill -9 15015 kill -9 15015 kill -9 15015 is not able to kill this. closing the xterm did in this case lay it to rest. Thanks again.

After an untidy exit I get stuck with the following. I took it right down and even logout out of the initial login console using cntl-D bash-3.00#killwine kill -9 16322 kill -9 16406 bash-3.00#wineserver -k Segmentation fault bash-3.00#pgrep -l wine 16322 wineserver 16406 wine-preloader It really seems like all I can do here is init 0 !!

killing wine dregs
I often have wine finish uncleanly or need to break in if it is misbehaving , this leaves some processes lying around and often means wine cannot be restarted correctly. I find killing it by hand labourious so I used the following command to clean up and have now defined it as an alias to make life easier. pgrep wine|while read p; do kill -9 $p ; done; It works nicely but just wondered if anyone would say OMG dont do that ! TIA.

Does wineserver -k not work for you? On Mon, 31 Oct 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I took the system right down to the login console and still cant clean up. Do I really have to reboot as the only way to clean up this mess? This is taking windows emulation too far!! ;)

Do I really have to reboot as the only way to clean up this mess? This is taking windows emulation too far!! ;) killall -9 wine-preloader works for me every time, however some older kernels have a bug which causes zombie processes (a placeholder for the process return code) to never be removed in the kernel. I think this was fixed around Linux 2.6.7 (ie. the unpatched Linux kernel). Mike
Re: killing wine dregs
wineserver -k is a handy way to shut things down (at least normally)
