[SOLVED] Window managers and sessions
Dear all, I hope this is the right place to pose this question. If not please move it.
A while back I made the jump to using just a window manager from relatively full featured DEs. While this took some work, I am generally pleased with the result. There is however one tiny thing that has been bugging me and that thing is shutting down (session management). I took to using
systemctl shutdownas the shutdown command. This works well, except that I have to kill at least the browsers in order for them not to greet me with a "closed unexpectedly" message. First exiting the WM and then shutting down works, but is a hassle.
So my question is this: How do I make sure that all of my processes are terminated cleanly when shutting down?

So have shutdown run a script to close those things before it shuts everything else down.

You may want to check out xkillall in the AUR - and you can read about a similar issue that lead to it's creation here.

Re: [SOLVED] Window managers and sessions
Seems my search-fu has failed me this time. Thanks for the answers. xkillall will do just fine.
Marked as solved.
