To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one "How to kill orphaned children" or "How to adopt child after killing parent" that I found in this reddit post
Kill the exe process itself, killing wineserver doesn't help, that spawns just new children. Similiar to goblins.
I later figured that
pkill -9 -f "\.exe"
works ifwineserver -k
doesn't. And that killing wineserver by callingkillall wineserver
is badyup.
