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.


in fact it seems even kill -9 cant clean up some times.

bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#killwine
kill -9 10666
kill -9 10690
bash-3.00#


bash-3.00#pgrep wine -l
10666 wineserver
10690 wine-preloader
bash-3.00#


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!! ;)
