[QUOTE="Jonnyfrond, post: 1170625, member: 187213"] Hi there guys, I'm new here, and also new to the terminal which I am keen to learn. I have been doing ok with it and am having fun, though I have come across an issue I have not been able to find the answer for with the joys of Google. Basically, there are certain applications on my mac that reopen if I kill them in terminal. The ones that have don't this so far are Google Chrome, Mac's own mail app, and the preview app. basically I have tried 3 different ones so far and am a little flummoxed. I tried these commands so far and don't want to proceed without some input. Kill -9 (pid) App reopened kill -15 (pid) App reopened kill -3 (pid) App closed, though error message of Application closed unexpectedly. I am literally just using the terminal from open, I have not changed to any root or anything, as I am just getting to grips with moving, renaming files, opening things and trying to close them. Any feedback here would be very appreciated. Kind regards Jonny [/QUOTE]
