How to kill wine application with kill command from command line

As a Windows user I expected to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and see the list of processes that could be easily killed with a GUI program. However CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't bring the list of processes or applications in Ubuntu 9.10. But it is very easy to kill the application from a command line:


Type the following in the Terminal:

ps axwww | grep KEYWORD

This will show a list of processes that have KEYWORD in them.


Example: Killing Replay Media Catcher from command line:

admin@admin-desktop:~$ ps axwww | grep Replay
15864 ?        Sl     0:01 C:\Program Files\Replay Media Catcher\MediaCatcher.exe                                                                 
15903 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto Replay

Look for the lowest number process id (the first column) that says something like "C:\Program Files\Replay Media Catcher\MediaCatcher.exe"

Then use this number to kill the process with (kill -9 PROCESS_NUMBER):

admin@admin-desktop:~$kill -9 15864
admin@admin-desktop:~$ ps axwww | grep Replay
15903 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto Replay

You can also use the pidof to find the process id and then use this process id with the kill command. For example, if you want to kill the tvtime process:

admin@admin-desktop::~/rtmpdump$ pidof tvtime
10673
admin@admin-desktop::~/rtmpdump$ kill -9 10673
