Hullo. Basically, I would like to have something similar to the UNIX 'kill' command. Status works enough like ps that I don't care, but having ps would be nice. Abacus' books says that status only shows CLI tasks, and not stuff you execute from workbench via icons, though... Hmm. Yup. Anyone have/know where is ps&kill ? Wayne

'Break <tasknum>' is a sort of kill command. For a less neat solution, try ARTM (Amiga Real Time Monitor) or XOPER, which both tell you lots about tasks, windows, and all the rest of the Amiga O/S.

GOMF has a command called Nuke that will kill programs, etc. but may not always get you out of trouble, depending on what went wrong. -- Dan Griffin griffin@frith.egr.msu.edu

The Amiga's operating system, in an attempt to keep throughput close to real-time and yet still provide the functionality it does, doesn't keep track of resources that a particular process uses. If one were to kill a particular task with extream predjudice it would die, but it would also leave any memory it allocated, files it had open or locked etc. AmigaDOS does come with the BREAK command, which is good for terminating processes that trap the control-C,D, etc keys, but not so good otherwise. Your only other solution would be to MANUALY go into a program like XOper or ARTM and kill the process, then free up anything it left open/allocated. ========================================================================== Chris Cebelenski UUCP: portal.com!gdc!aminet!czaeap!cpc The Red Mage : cpc@czaeap.UUCP // "Amiga - The way REAL people compute" \X/ Sex, and Drugs, and Rock and Roll-Playing!
