When my programs crash the kde crash termination window comes but when terminate is clicked nothing happens. I also tried kill & killall “program (and with process id)”.
You can also use pkill
which allows you to regex search and destroy executables. My magic spell oneliner to kill any Steam Proton games is pkill \.exe
, it kills any and all windows executables running through Wine or Proton.
Sadly it doesn’ t work. It hangs in the terminal and doesn’t do anything.
It hangs? Like you type the command and you don’t get so much as an error message?!
I also tried pkill \worldoftanks.exe
Maybe sudo
it. I’ve never seen it hang like that.
Oh, and the \
is designed to say “this is literal”. Like it kills anything with .exe
in the name. It’s regex, so without it it .
matches anything one character long.
Same with sudo
. Thanks for the regex info .
