Re: [orca-list] More command line options for your consideration

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

If we can kill orca with a single command, then we don't need the command line options anymore.  I'd agree 
with removing them.  Frankly, I had some experiences where the -q option didn't work for me on occasion.  The 
main thing is being to easily determine the correct process ID.
