I think the Nook Color is about to get rooted! - Page 3

I am not sure if awk is in the command set but

Code:

ps | grep com.bn.nook.applauncher | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill

would do the trick if it has the commands.

Nice try. The shell in the nookColor is rather limited, so you have to make use of your PC's shell; it would be:

Code:

adb shell ps | grep applauncher | awk '{print $2}' | xargs adb shell kill

An easier way to do this is to use a process manager application. I use Astro, a file manager that also has process and app manager tools. The Astro process manager lists all running Apps by their short description, including "AppLauncher". You can press-and-hold to bring up a menu to kill the process. The next time you go to "Extras" it will re-detect all installed Apps like it does the first time after a reboot.
