Socko,

You should be able to use NSTask to call "ps -all" to list the processes and get the id, then use NSTask to call "kill id" (where id is the actual id of the process) to kill the process. Mind you, without the visual feedback that you get when you run ps in the Terminal, it might be hard to be SURE which process you're killing.

Regards,

Jake

i know a process can be killed by name, since ProcessViewer can filter by
name and kill a process. does anyone know how to (in Cocoa):

1. find a process by name
2. kill that process

i have been able to use the process name to get the process ID of the
process i want to kill in Terminal, but i don't know how to get the
process ID into a kill command once the process ID has been listed in
Terminal. i'm hoping there is some way to do it using Obj-C so i can
avoid Terminal altogether.
