You'll probably feel more sare if you alias kill and killall with kill
-s INT and killall -s INT anyway. And yeah, you have to specify a
SIGKILL as it's not the default (at least on Linux, have to check the
BSD branch).

I might be interested in your script when it's ready (esp. the part
which checks if povray is running). This box now dual boots to Win98
and Slackware 7.1 (mostly because I now have a DVD-ROM drive and
watching DVD movies under Windows proved to be a pain)

Anyway, go-go Warp! :)
