Here is a script I put together which I call when Netscape crashes you
can modify it to fit your needs. You could set up two, one with kill -9
and one with kill -12. Works for me anyway.
#!/bin/sh
# mynet - used to remove netscape's lockfile and kill it's pid after a
# freeze.
lock_file=~/.netscape/lock
net_pid=$(ps x | grep netscape | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}')
if [ -n "$net_pid" ]
then
kill -12 "$net_pid"
echo -e "\nKilled pid $net_pid."
fi
if [ -L "$lock_file" ]
then
rm "$lock_file"
echo -e "\nLockfile was removed.\n"
fi
