I ran a little program in Demo called BeSnow. Now I can’t make it stop!! I have even shut down the laptop, unplugged it and removed the battery. As soon as tracker starts up that damn program starts running again. I can kill the thread, but how the hell do I make it go way???

In the lower right corner there’s a button. Right click it.
#!/bin/sh
ps | grep “/boot/system/Tracker” | grep -v “grep” | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs -i kill -9 {}
sleep 1
ps | grep “/boot/system/Deskbar” | grep -v “grep” | awk ‘{print $2}’ | xargs -i kill -9 {}
sleep 1
/boot/system/Tracker &

Hi DFergATL!
There’s apparently a bug in BSnow… Got snowed in? 
You can kill that rogue BSnow replicant (and unfortunately every other Replicant on our Desktop) by deleting /boot/home/config/settings/Tracker/tracker_shelf. Then kill (not quit!) Tracker with ProcessController or the TeamMonitor and restart Tracker.

Re!
A quick look into the mailinglist archives showed an even nicer way, without killing/restarting Tracker or losing your tracker_shelf setting. In Terminal:
hey Tracker DELETE Replicant BSnow of Shelf of View PoseView of Window 0

Humdinger,
I am getting an error when I run “hey Tracker DELETE Replicant BSnow of Shelf of View PoseView of Window 0”
Reply BMessage(B_Reply):
“error” (B_INIT32_TYPE) : 0 (0x000000000)
OMG!!! Part 2!
It’s gone. I think that that command must have worked even through it returned an error. I would still like to know what that error is…

The error code is always returned, in this case 0 = B_OK = B_NO_ERROR.
Another option should be to run BSnow again from the leaf menu, its window should say “click me to remove”.
Ok, good to know.
about BSnow, I did run the app again before I posted the first time. Just for an FYI, I did not get an option to “Click me to remove” In all I ended up with 3 instanced of BSnow running.
The missing “Click me” is part of the bug that is tracked in ticket #11134.
