"end the process". You close the program's main window? Cheers -- tomás
Close - click on the close button, which closes the window and should also shut down the application
End Process - click on the End Process option in the System Activity monitor after selecting the VLC process. According the manual, this is supposed to send the SIGKILL signal but it doesn't seem to work in this case. Instead I need to send the Kill signal to the process.
