Cyrille,

What would be the advantage of this? Isn't the pkg-deinstall the better
approach since it is simple and easy to grasp?

> an alternative would be to use killall such as :
> 
> @unexec echo killing orion.; killall orion; rm -f /var/run/orion.pid

Nah, in this case it won't work, since the name of the process is `java', not
`orion' :)

Thanks for the suggestions.


Ernst
