[QUOTE="zeroq, post: 729395, member: 68236"] I use Remote Desktop at work to keep an eye on pesky kids in the shop. I have already set some preset Unix commands to kill safari, mute the computer and that sort of thing. But, the killall command will not kill Firefox. I have thought about killing the PID but then, that changes all the time and it takes ages to get the correct PID back from the host machine. at first i thought Remote Desktop was having trouble handling 3rd party apps but i just tried killing firefox on my own machine and it doesn't kill it then either. I just get "No matching processes belonging to you were found" Does anyone know how I can get Terminal to kill firefox, without first finding the PID? Dan. [/QUOTE]
