How do you kill the thunar process?

Question

If I'd like to kill all instances of that file manager, I'd do

killall thunar

which gives me

thunar: no process found

But this FM is definitely running!

Similarly ps aux | grep thunar doesn't find anything and yields:

cadoiz      27791  0.0  0.0   9588  2656 pts/0    S+   11:33   0:00 grep --color=auto thunar

Answer 1

killall seems to be case sensitive and for some reason, Thunar with capital T works:

killall Thunar
