[QUOTE="Jonnyfrond, post: 1170740, member: 187213"] Oh wow, thanks for the quick replies, I posted a similar question on a different forum, yesterday, but still no one has replied. Right ok, I found the pid's from using the command: ps -e and I also tried ps -ax They appear to do the same thing that is list all running processes. Right now, I have just done this again so I could take a screen shot and it all worked perfectly. I think I have found the problem. A while ago, I installed visor for the terminal, cos it looked cool et al. For those not familiar, it is a plug in that means you can open and close a terminal window using a hot key, and it just pops down from the top of the screen in a slightly sci fi school boy fantasy way, and it is when I do these things in the visor terminal window that this happens. I just did this on the most stubborn one to date which was the Preview app, whilst in an actual Terminal window, and it would open and close happily. Thank you for your time, I hope this might help someone else new to the ways of the command line. I think I will disable visor for the time being until I know why the behaviour. Kind regards Jonny [/QUOTE]
