Re: how to kill process

["vavi" <vava@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

in a few apps, like xmms for eg. you have one xmms instance initiating 2-3
more xmms instances for some work.. now if you kill the 2nd or 3rd instance,
it doesnt help much, and the original instance, probably restarts them...
kill the first (lowest) instance, ensures that all of them die at one go.
