[QUOTE="HolySwag, post: 1640215, member: 232466"] Hey, MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB I am annoyed about so many unnecessary processes my Mac has, which eat up all the memory and PCU and don't allow me to work on projects which require a lot of processing power. I would want to create an Automator Application which would [I]kill all[/I] the hanging processes, or some completely unnecessary processes, and just all apps I don't need to use as well. I tried to do it by: Automator ▸ Application ▸ Run Shell Script ▸ killall "[I]process_name[/I]" That would work for me, but when a process isn't there, it doesn't skip it and [I]kill[/I] the next one, but stops. Anyone know what could I do with it, or maybe some better alternatives? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
