mate-terminal - start in new PID





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I often like to kill a set of terminal instances by process id but mate-terminal (which I believe to be a fork of gnome-terminal) will run a number of windows under the same PID. This is not always true and I haven't noticed what determines it,but the outcome is that if I kill a PID I will kill some windows that I don't want to kill.



As a fix, I'd like to tell terminal to start with a new process, but I don't see that option in the terminal man page. Have I missed something? Or perhaps there is a bash command that can force this.

  • @N0rbert No. The same PID unfortunately. I can understand why that is and should be default behavior, but the option is offered by other applications eg.geany.

The option you're looking for is --disable-factory.

    From man mate-terminal: "--disable-factory" has "Do not register with the activation nameserver, do not re-use an active terminal".

  • And that's something gnome-terminal doesn't seem to offer. konsole has --separate which does the same thing.
