This is a tiny shell script for killing ae on mac
It is the result of a sunday morning mini idea after seeing [this quicktip](http://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/workflow/quick-tip-after-effects-force-quit-and-save/) by [Joe Lilli](http://ae.tutsplus.com/author/joe-lilli/)
##Usage:
# kill AE CS 6 just type
killae.sh 6
# kill AE CS 5.5 just type
killae.sh 5.5
# kill AE CS 5 just type
killae.sh 5
##Installation:
open terminal and type:
cd /usr/local/bin
than
vi killae.sh
you are in the vi editor
- now hit __"i"__ once for the insert mode
- and copy paste the script into it.
- Than hit __"ESC"__
- followed by holding __"SHIFT"__ and hitting __"z"__ two time.
(Yes this is a wired editor. but useful).
Now type in the terminal again
chmod +x killae.sh
now your shell scipt is executable.
Make sure the path `/usr/local/bin` is in your $PATH variable in your .bash_profile. If you don't have a .bash_profile or don't know what it is don't worry. Type in your terminal.
vi ~/.bash_profile
- now hit __"i"__ once for the insert mode
- and copy paste the 3 lines below into it.
- Than hit __"ESC"__
- followed by holding __"SHIFT"__ and hitting __"z"__ two time.
btw if you dont go into insert mode you can hit __":q"__ and __"enter"__ to leave vi.
# general path munging
PATH=${PATH}:~/bin
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin
##killallae.sh
This is nearly the same as killae.sh but you don't have to provide a AE version number. It just kills the last started process called Adobe After Effects CS*
This script needs still some work but still thanks [@stevennikolic](https://github.com/stevennikolic)
##Windows
On windows you can use `taskkill` and `tasklist` for that. Have a lokk [here](http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/446/xp_kill_windows_process_command_line_taskkill/).
