Bug

Thanks very much - that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I have subsequently worked out I can achieve the same result with 'killall -9 -ir evol*' which is briefer. However, your answer addresses the underlying question I had of how to get a the listed (piped) results to be loped through.

Thanks very much!!!Smilie
