Just tried something like that and couldn't figure out which was the PID number. It gave me: 4347 0.0 0.0 14436 1100 pts/0 S+ 16.27 0.00 grep -- color=aux to firefox Firefox was in red. Keen to try this isf Terminla is still up and running. Bev On 25/07/2021 13:16, phil@pthane.co.uk wrote:

I can never remember get commands so I usually do ps ux to find the PID of the app I want to kill then kill -9 (PID Number).

Me again. While Mint remain wobbly, it frequently claims that (ie) Firefox is running but not responding.

I've tried

$ kill $(ps -x | grep firefox | a

and nothing happened. Got the same message.

killall firefox

has usually worked in the past but not now.

So what do I do?
