Hi! Here's my issue: I need to close a process, already running, from a C# program.

First part of th...

My Mac becomes slow over time. The reason is the huge amount of my shells, such as Bashes and Fishes. Each shell has different PID. Killing shells one by one is too cumbersome. How can I kill them at once? ...
