CxKiller by Gael Marziou released on 21 Dec. 93 Updated 9 Jan. 94 by Mike Cuddy (fensende!mcuddy@apple.com) INTRODUCTION CxKiller is a very simple program which use is to kill commodities from CLI/Shell. But will you say, we already have Exchange to do that. Yes but it is GUI oriented. CxKiller has been done to be called from scripts, ToolManager menus or docks, hotkeys, BrowserII and whatever you want. DISTRIBUTION CxKiller is Public Domain. I just want the C source to be included with it. USAGE Called without any argument CxKiller will kill ALL running commodities. Arguments should be a list of Commodities names. Be aware that Commodities names are case sensitive ! Names with spaces must be quoted. example: CxKiller "Magic Menu" GrabIFF Yak "Arq 1.78" will kill these 4 commodities listed. CxKiller will kill all running commodities. MORE USAGE: (9 Jan 1994 -- Michael Cuddy) Added 'ENABLE' and 'DISABLE' arguments to cause commodities to be merely enabled and disabled instead of killed. Usage is the same as normal, (i.e.: no other arguments causes all commodities to be enabled/disabled) example: CxKiller DISABLE "SMaus" will DISABLE SMaus. CxKiller ENABLE will enable all running commodities. DISCLAIMER Allright, here it is : you use CxKiller at your own risk. I cannot be responsible to any damage happening when using it.
