Hi,

It should work, what process are you trying to kill ?
In your kill b and c examples, what is the output ? ( you talk about strange behavior)

Did you try killall a ? Does it also make kwin crash ?

Alex.

Not surprising if you understand how pkill uses the argument to find processes to kill.

According to "man pgrep", the following should work:

Code:
pkill -x a


-x = "exact"
