Kill specific Wine program from Command Line

Brian114 · 04-17-2005, 10:01 PM

Hey Guys!
Here's my problem, I'm running Internet Call Manager (when I'm on the internet it monitors for incoming calls and notifies me) under wine.

Problem: I have it start when I'm connected, but need it to end when I disconnect (otherwise I get multiple 'your connection is broken' messages)

I can kill wine to end it, but if I have another wine program running it kills it too.

Can I 'kill' a specific wine program without killing the entire emulator? or can i start the process with a certain pid?

Any ideas?
Thanks

As a workaround, you can start each programs in a different terminal, then control+c to kill each separately...

answer:

ps axwww | grep wine

that will bring up a list of processes that have wine in them. look for the lowest number process id (the first column) that says something like '/usr/bin/wine-pthread some_windows_program.exe'.

example (killing IconEdit.exe)

Code:

[vjong@Tron vjong]$ ps axwww | grep wine
 2126 ?        S      0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/IconEdit_wine.sh
 2127 ?        S      0:09 /usr/bin/wine-pthread IconEdit.exe
 2131 ?        S      0:02 /usr/bin/wineserver
 2136 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/wine-pthread IconEdit.exe
 2137 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/wine-pthread IconEdit.exe
 2139 ?        S      0:03 /usr/bin/wine-pthread winrar.exe
 2144 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/wine-pthread winrar.exe
[vjong@Tron vjong]$ kill -9 2127
[vjong@Tron vjong]$ ps axwww | grep wine
 2131 ?        S      0:02 /usr/bin/wineserver
 2139 ?        S      0:04 /usr/bin/wine-pthread winrar.exe
 2144 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/wine-pthread winrar.exe
[vjong@Tron vjong]$

it looks like that works.

Thanks for the quick replies,

But how can I do this from a script?

I need my 'run on disconnect' script to end the program automatically, not do it manually.
Doing it manually works, but how do I write a script to find the right pid?

1.) click the "new terminal" icon - (provide one for your users if you don't have one!)
2.) type "wine taskmgr" then hit enter.

Windows Task Manager starts.
