x-penguins?

x-penguins.
me? think theyre kinda funny.
girlfriend? loves 'em
me?? getting real angry that i cant figure out how to turn them off!!!

any ideas?

SD

[teeitup]

ps -ef | grep penguins
kill #### (PID)

That should do it.

Of course it has to be done as the user who started the penguins or as root.

Good Luck,

[heylee]

or ps aux and kill the pid of "xpenguins"

ex: [lisa@heylee lisa]$ ps aux
root 13832 0.0 0.2 2868 1304 ? S Oct27 0:00 xpenguins

kill -9 13832

;)

[demian]

Come on, we can do that with a one-liner:
kill `pidof xpenguins`

And please don't use the -9 unless it's neccessary. You don't wanna hurt them, do you? ;)

edit:
Bad, heylee, bad! You're running X as root?
