I have run the "hwbrowser" from the menu. Then i tried to kill hwbrowser from terminal. 1.kill pid_of_hwbrowser --> This command kills only binary (hwbrowser) run by the normal user, not the main application because there are many (3) processes running along with hwbrowser. and they are. [ankit@ankit ~]$ ps -aux | grep hwbrowser Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ ankit 6355 1.0 1.5 18460 8108 pts/2 S 12:38 0:00 hwbrowser root 6356 0.0 0.2 7472 1396 pts/2 S 12:38 0:00 /usr/sbin/userhelper -w hwbrowser root 6360 0.0 0.1 6772 952 pts/2 S 12:38 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/hwbrowser/hwbrowser root 6361 8.1 3.3 28276 16976 pts/2 S 12:38 0:01 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py ankit 6370 0.0 0.1 5816 660 pts/2 R+ 12:39 0:00 grep hwbrowser [ankit@ankit ~]$ 2. So, i thought i need to kill all other processes also along with hwbrowser. So, [ankit@ankit ~]$ killall -g hwbrowser [1]+ Terminated hwbrowser [ankit@ankit ~]$ ps -aux | grep hwbrowser Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ root 6360 0.0 0.1 6772 952 pts/2 S 12:38 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/hwbrowser/hwbrowser root 6361 1.2 3.3 28276 16976 pts/2 S 12:38 0:01 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/hwbrowser/DeviceList.py ankit 6373 0.0 0.1 4652 656 pts/2 R+ 12:40 0:00 grep hwbrowser Still gui of hwbrowser running. If you have run hwbrowser from Menu (gui) then --> All other gui applications closed and gnome-panel restarted. If you have run hwbrowser from same terminal (console) then --> Other gui applications and gnome-panel will not get affected. 3. So, finally i thought i need to be root to kill all the instances of hwbrowser. And, [root@ankit ~]# ps -aux | grep hwbrowser Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See /usr/share/doc/procps-3.2.3/FAQ root 6412 0.0 0.1 4656 668 pts/2 S+ 12:47 0:00 grep hwbrowser [root@ankit ~]# Now hwbrowser killed fully... If you have run hwbrowser from Menu (gui) then --> All other gui applications closed and gnome-panel restarted. If you have run hwbrowser from same terminal (console) then --> Other gui applications and gnome-panel will not get affected. This is not specific to hwbrowser only but most of the applications created in python included in fedora-core software. So, i want to know is there any solution to kill hwbrowser(which have been running from Menu(gui) not from the same terminal) without affecting other applications? Thank You!

Alex, Thanks for your reply, I know about xkill, but i don't want to interact my GUI (Mouse) to kill any application. If i want to use Mouse then i can kill application by directly clicking on the close button. The thing is i want to kill application fully from console without any interaction. --- Alex Catullo <freelance0(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Did you try xkill? > Run it in a seperate terminal as a normal user. > > -Alex Catullo > > On 9/30/05, Ankit Patel <ankit644(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: > > I have run the "hwbrowser" from the menu.

[hfuller@IBM-99-AFZ00 ~]$ xkill Select the window whose client you wish to kill with button 1.... xkill: killing creator of resource 0x2e00007 Maybe something could be done with that resource #?

Hey, I used "resource id", which i got through "xrestop", to kill my application by "xkill -id" and got success. :) Now the problem is changed to find the resource id. I am pasting the output of "xrestop" here. <------- xrestop - Display: localhost:0 Monitoring 30 clients.
