I usually use scout to kill the process and exorcist to get rid of any screens or windows if the app is already dead. Both can be found at OS4depot IIRC.

Is there a way to kill running programs or processes in worbench 3.1 from the shell?

Most probably yes (Aminet is your friend), but why would you want to use the shell? Isn´t it easier to click on a process, than to type its name or even find the PID, etc?

I used ARTM on 3.1 .. which is of course a GUI program. But there are a lot of other softwasres that can do the same thing.

Don´t kill ´em yet! Try to break ´em first.

And this will work with MorphOS?

Oh, I didn´t notice the cat on your AV is actually chasing butterflies:kitty:.
Well sorry, I currently don´t play in the blue team. Maybe there is something better than Scout on MOS.

Anyways - usually you don´t get back all of your resouces when the polite "break" isn´t working and you really have to kill the process. Good software should not require the user to do such things, right?
