Re: [orca-list] orca crash on exiting firefox

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

I ran a quick test and Orca appears in my process listing as
jason     9246  0.3  0.8 444080 33900 tty1     Sl   13:15   0:00
/usr/bin/python -c import orca.orca; orca.orca.main()

Thus the "killall orca" command won't find it.

Killall python will find it, but you'll probably also kill other programs that
happen to be written in Python. You could use grep on ps output and extract
the process ID, then kill it. Hint: the cut command can extract fields from
lines of text such as the output of ps, so you can write a pipeline that does
what you want.
