Re: [libreoffice-users] Macro to abandon edits

Hi :)
In Debain family maybe "pkill" might be better to kill a named process
rather than by it's id?  Wouldn't a "kill" (or "pkill") command also mean
the next time you open LibreOffice it'll try to recover a file?

I'm not sure about any of this so i'm just wondering.  I tend to stay as
far away from the command-line as possible but occasionally find myself
doing odd things there.
Regards from
Tom :)
