(silence if ok; kill usage if there are no EXE/wine programs running)
Look mah! All pipes
The other 2 commands that are listed will also kill the egrep process and any libexec processes because the .exe isn't escaped so it is really using . meaning anything containing exe. The command i posted escapes the (dot) in .exe and then filters the actual egrep process so that it doesn't get killed before the other processes being killed. Also added the -9 switch for kill to send sigterm to the processes, in case people are wondering why processes aren't getting killed after running just kill . This should work better for people :)
Any thoughts on this command? Does it work on your machine? Can you do the same thing with only 14 characters?
