This can be very cumbersome to fix by hand as there +can be many stuck PIDs. To do this easily with `psre`, run the following: + +``` +kill -9 $(psre webkit --noself) +``` + +**Note** the `--noself` switch which causes `psre` to filter its own PID from +the list so it is not also killed or an error thrown when this command runs. |
