So you can click on the > first item, shift-click on the last, and have all of them selected. not in the force-quit window it isn't, at least not in 10.4 or 10.5.

And if you are going to use awk, then use its power so we don't need the other grep either. kill -9 `ps x | awk '$4 ~ /\/Applications/ {print $1}'` (Don't try this at home, kids) -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read HTML or poorly quoting posts Reply-To address is valid

While we're doing cute tricks with ps: killall `ps xc | grep Finder` It's pretty safe, you can try it out. It's like doing a "relaunch" from the Force Quit window. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer
