Warning about ultra-confusing thing

[Mike Hearn]

Hi all,

Sometimes it is convenient to do a "killall -9 wine-pthread" to kill Wine
for whatever reason. This no longer works:

$ ps ax | grep wine-pthread | grep -v grep
10425 pts/4    S      0:00 /opt/wine/bin/wine-pthread notepad.exe


$ killall wine-pthread
wine-pthread: no process killed
$ killall wine-preloader
$

Huh? WTF is going on here? Well, it seems that "ps" and "killall" look at
different places to get the process name, so despite the fact that it
appears as wine-pthread in the process list, you must use the name
wine-preloader in order to send it signals from the command line.

There are reasons for this, which will hopefully become clear when I
submit my docs on the Wine init process. For now, you have been warned.

thanks -mike
