    Default KILL Processes

    Hi guys,

    iv been trying to kill the processes with
    kill -9 [pid] in the Terminal,

    but everytime i try to do that, the same process ist started
    with a different pid! E.G i try to kill Mxtube application,
    this is listed with ps -e always in the background.
    Does anone know how to quit those background processes, or u may know another 3rd App for that?

    TX for your help!

    There is a plug-in for SBSettings that kills processes... just search Cydia for SBSettings, install it, and then search for "Process" and you'll see something for SBSettings. Install that plug-in and you should be set.

    The only 2 processes you can't kill are Phone and Mail. MXTube should not ever have a background daemon running... the app shuts down completely when closed.

    thx vor the sbsettings hint, but I suppose
    the killprocess-plugin is sth like a lite
    taskmgr, my mxtube backgoundapp is not
    listed there, but it is listed with the terminal
    request "ps -e"!
    Does someone know a
    better solution?
