Re: [TCLUG:6277] Netscape hanging & can't be killed

[James Raney <seumas@mad-seumas.net>]

Use "ps auwx|grep netscape", then use "kill -9 PID", where PID is the
second item displayed.  Or, in one line "killall -9 netscape".  That'll
kill off any running netscape.

As far as the hangs go, I had them happening in an older
version (can't remember which). I grabbed a newer one from the unsupported
tree at ftp.netscape.com and made sure to get the glibc version. YMMV. 

You may want to check out "man kill" if you are unfamiliar with the kill
command.  Very useful, especially for daemon processes.
