wineprc

Manage wine (winehq.org) processes. Bash script.

Why we need this: wine itself doesn't provide a effecient way to manage their processes. Even wineserver -k sometimes doesn't work.

Features

• List wine processes
  • WINEPREFIX
  • PID (Unix)
  • The process status, zombie or not
  • Command
  • Full command
  • Window(s) Title(s) (some windows or processes can't get, due to some X11 mechanism)
• Kill wine processes
  • Choose SIGINT or SIGKILL
  • Choose a WINEPREFIX to kill, or kill all

Usage

Usage:

    -h, --help              Show this help

    -l, --list              List all running wine processes
    
    -k <WINEPREFIX>         Kill a running WINEPREFIX.
                            Use 'all' to kill all WINEPREFIX
    -kk                     Same as '-k' but kill with SIGKILL

This script was created some time ago. Now, with Linux namespace technology, we might have a better approach — running each Wine environment in a container/sandbox. You can take a look at my sandbox tool project Tree Sandbox.
