"ps -ef | grep vlc" should show you the pids.I'd tried to 'kill' them first. If that doesn't work I usually go straight for a "kill -9".
"killall vlc" might also work, but I'm not positive. On 02/01/2013 06:29 PM, Thierry Chatelet wrote:
Hi, I have 3 instances of vlc that I can not stop. Top does not give me their process number. How can I get ithem to kill them with kill +process number? Or is there athere a other way to do it? Thierry
