what is the command for killing a proccess?

amy

Let me know please

killall lt;process namegt;

Or

kill lt;optional signalgt; ltIDgt;

Or

xkill  (for a point and click way to end a process)

Please refer to the respective manual pages for each command for more details.

Or press ALT-F2, type xkill, and click on the window you'd like to kill with the skull.

you can do a ps-ef at a terminal and then find the offending process.  You can then type kill lt;process numbergt; and that will kill the process.

Alternatively is you install the system monitor it has a processes tab in which you can kill processes.
