    How do I reinitialize a profile from last session logout

    Hi.
    I have a hard disc install of knoppix. I am trying to find a way to reinitialize all running processes to start off clean next time I login as root. If I logout and don't close programs, the next time I login, they all resume. How do I clean and reinitialize all the processes?

    This question is in part related to another post that I made. I have some processes which are hogging CPU ressources and the kill command just wont work. Any ideas on how to reinitialize? Any help/ideas is much appreciated.

    KDE Control Center -> KDE Components -> Session Manager and in the On Login section make sure the Start with an empty session is selected. But that is not really a solution to the problem, what apps are causing the problems either get rid of them (apt-get --purge remove offending_app) or try to track down what is going wrong.

    kill should work, else you have a Zombie. and THAT is a SERIOUS bug.
    in a console do:
    sudo su (enter)
    ps -aux (enter)
    kill -9 123 456 789 (enter)
    in the above the 123 456 789 are the (in this case 3) pid's of anything shown in ps -aux to have relation with your program.

    Using the kill command with all the process PIDs simultaneously fixed the problem.
    Thanks,
