Sometimes Wine locks up. win32 things explode and I want to nuke everything
and start again. This usually involves me going through the process list,
killing each process. I'll miss a few occasionally and, on a bad day, it can
take me a minute before everything's where I want it to be.
I have just read a method for nuking wineserver (wineserver -k) safely but
I'm curious to know if there's a catch-all command for killing everything
that started up as a result of my initial wine command.

nukes all wineserver processes. Use it with care: it will kill all
processes with that name regardless of which user is running them unless
you use the -u option. It can also take a list of process names or a
regular expression that matches several processes. See "man killall" for
full details.

wineserver -k kills all Wine processes, locked up or not. Simple as that.Oli Warner wrote:Sometimes Wine locks up. win32 things explode and I want to nuke everything

You can also use wine taskmgr for a ctrl-alt-delete style Windows task manager, where you can kill Wine processes individually.

DO NOT kill server like that, unless you ok with corrupting Wine's registry.Martin Gregorie wrote:killall wineserver
If you have to kill Wine, try 'wineserver -k' first. It will force terminate all Wine process and wineserver will gracefully exit. If that doesn't work, find the process that hung (most likely would be the name of the windows application) and kill it with 'kill -9 <pid>' or 'killall -9 app.exe'.
