| May 27, 2022 at 18:06 | comment | added | ealfonso | Thanks for your detailed answer to this question. Regarding the option to kill the process using xkill, three things: 1. Is there a way to monitor either process deaths in the OS, or maybe trace the system call to kill the process? Figuring out which process died manually seems difficult. | |
