Getting mprime output on console window.

[storm5510]

I decided to put Ubuntu onto my HP, and everything seems to be working. Thanks to this thread, I have an output on the screen.

My question: Is using Ctrl-Z a proper way to stop mprime or is it better to simply close the terminal window?

I use top, find process ID and kill it

That is one way. Or you can see if is running with (process ID) pidof mprime and the stop it completely with killall mprime

^C (Ctrl-c) in a terminal running it will stop it too.

^Z (Ctrl-z) merely suspends it and you can use fg to resume it.

Ctrl-Break does not work. When I would restart, it would say that mprime was already running. I would go to the System Monitor, find it in a long list, and kill it from there. I remember using ^C in the past, but did not think of it in this instance.

Linux, whatever flavor, is mentioned here a lot and I am determined to learn it. I feel I have made a tiny bit of progress in just a few hours. I am quite pleased with how it [mprime] is running.

Thank you!
