[Chimera-users] kill graphics windows after crash

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Dieter,

  I am curious what you are using in Chimera that uses the network when you have to kill it?  I tried fetching a large EM map (10860, ~500 Mbytes) from EMDB with File / Fetch by ID on Mac, then I turned off my wifi part way through and tried ctrl-C in the shell where I had started Chimera 1.14.  One try it exited the program, and the second try it gave a keyboard interrupt message and Chimera was no longer hung.  If I left my wifi on then the stop button in the lower left corner of the Chimera window at the front of the status messages successfully stopped the download.  But if I disconnected the wifi, that stop button didn't work.

  Maybe you are on Linux or maybe Chimera is hung on some web service you are using like BLAST....

	Tom

When I then try exiting it or killing it with <ctrl> c from the terminal I used to start it or killing the chimera-related process as shown with ps -ealf|grep UCSF or grep chimera the chimera windows remain and I cannot remove them. Any way of doing so?
