Trying to open a program in bash script
displaying a file (that works)
and then close or kill the program
(using Puppy Slacko 5.3.3.2)
Is it really so hard?
None of this stuff seems to work . . .

Code:
#/usr/local/bin/defaultdraw draw1 "$@"
inkscapelite draw1 "$@"
sleep 3 "$@"
#killall -9 4438
killall inkscapelite
#kill -s TERM inkscapelite
#pgrep inkscapelite | xargs kill -9
#pkill -f inkscapelite

pkill -f inkscapelite
pkill -9 -f inkscapelite


No programs were killed in the producing of this mail
. . . and that is the problem . . . Shocked

ugg - please only use killall as a last resort

program args &
programpid=$!
... do stuff ...
kill $programpid

... and that way you won't piss off your users because you killed their other opened instance of <program> that had weeks of unsaved data opened ... in other words, don't use a machete when the right tool is a scalpel
