How to close multiple windows at the same time
 
I am running Fedora Core 4 and have an application that alerts me with a new window every few seconds. Needless to say, this adds up after a while. One logical question would be why does the app do that, but I was told that is the desired results. That being said, I would like to close a few hundred windows at a time. On Windows if you right click, one option is always "Close Group", is there anything similar on Linux. I have also tried to figure out what process they are in, maybe writing a shell script to get the process id and kill them all, but I can't see them with ps -aux.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

In KDE there is a similar option of closing a group in the window list bar, I believe.

The windows (I'm guessing) come from the application itself, and I would assume don't have their own process ID that you can look up and kill. Killing the process ID would terminate the entire program, which I'm guessing you don't want?
