How to close nicely a wine application from script

[anto12358]

I need to close nicely (i.e. just like pressing the x button on the window) a wine application (in this case uTorrent) from a script. I tried something like this:

kill -N `pgrep uTorrent.exe`

but no matter which signal number I use, it appears that the process is terminated badly. When it is restarted, uTorrent checks the started torrents, just like it does when it crashes. The same happens if I try ending wineserver (I couldn't do it anyway like this, because I have other wine processes running).

Is there a way to simulate a "clean" close from a script?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

wineboot -e

I don't see how I can use this to close a single Wine application without affecting the others too.

You can't. Put them into separate wineprefixes.

I've found an easier way: use a Windows task kill application like taskkill.exe (shipped with Windows XP) or this:

Indeed. Forgot that Wine has that one too.
