I kept cosidering the alternatives, and apart from the UDS idea (not feasible), the incomplete "bye" command, there's also another option!
kill `ps -U <USER> | grep bm_srv12 | sed 's/^ *//g' | cut -d' ' -f1`
That is, issued from dillo to force the shut down of a running bookmark server.
This works correctly on SuSE 8.1 uname -a: Linux wahoo 2.4.19-4GB #1 Wed Nov 27 00:56:40 UTC 2002 i686 unknown BUT, also and cleaner, kill `pidof bm_srv12` also works, but I do not know about other ?nix versions. sorry bout the repost -- Patrick Shanahan Please avoid TOFU and trim >quotes< http://wahoo.no-ip.org Registered Linux User #207535 icq#173753138 @ http://counter.li.org Linux, a continuous *learning* experience
