Not getting clean shutdowns for FireFox and Epiphany

[Bill Case]

Hi;

How do I set up rc6 or whatever, so that I get a clean shutdown for
FireFox and Epiphany?

FireFox is started by my session manager and I often use Epiphany -b as
a specialized bookmark editor on my panel. Whenever I login to start a
new session FireFox and Epiphany gives a standard warning/option of
restoring my previous session. I want to eliminate those warnings
without having to specifically close those programs before logging out.

Well, the reason you are getting the restore session is due to your system simply killing the current sessions when you exit. I get this when I just shutdown and KDE starts up again, asking if I want the current session or new browser. So, you can get fancy with shutdown, modify it to "kill -3" (send SIGQUIT or another that nicely exits, or, with Epiphany, is there a command line option to suppress warnings, restart it (or modify the call to start it) to feed in the command line option?

Users better versed in the UNIX tools that, for some reason, need to restart Epiphany without closing their session can send Epiphany a SIGTERM with the kill command (e.g., killall epiphany, or kill pidof epiphany).

I was unable to find them, but see if epiphany has the command line option you are looking for without the hassle of changing the above.
