Hi all,

Could someone tell me how I would kill a proccess by name not by pid that has a space in the name? Like a proccess called "Another Launcher". If you where to use "killall -9 Another Launcher" it wouldnt be recognised. Also when cding to a folder or disk with a split name.... How do I do this?

Thanks

Precede the space with a backslash, eg: Another\ Launcher.

Another option is to enclose the filename in quotes. e.g.

killall -9 "Another Launcher"

Be very careful of killall though. I never use it, using ps and then killing by PID.
