How do you kill a process in UNIX? | Thanks, | Earl Moon Can't help you on 1 & 2, but for 3 you would need to identify the process ID at the unix prompt, then perform the "kill" command on that process ID number.

Then the kill command can be used. for # 2 A ripper is just a graphical symbol that allows you to extract a signal from a bus (bit 1 or 2 from a bus labelled abus(0:32) for example).
