Terminal question
Lets say i started conky from *box startup script with conky &.
And I one time changed my mind and want to turn it off.
How I can do this?
Without kill command and without restarting *box.
Can i do this at all?

Re: Terminal question
Without kill command ? Why, it's too easy using kill, and you want to make a challenge ?

Re: Terminal question
according to my knowledge and experience, no, you dont need to be a root to use kill. atleast not to kill processes started by yourself. killing root processes is another matter.
also you can use "Sudo" to perform root commands without actually signing in as root (or just use "Su")
for more information on sudo: Sudo wiki page
i hope this is useful to you
