I am using kalarm to start my download applications at night while I am sleeping. I decided to use that just because i have it open all the time for my regular alarm clock anyways. I did try kcron but it didn't load the apps and I did not feel like troubleshooting it 
It is working fine to start my applications but i have a question about running a kill script to close those applications.
my problem is I am closing frostwire which when executed loads frostwire, runfrostwire.sh, and java
I also use zend studio and would like to leave that open and that runs a separate java process. If I killall java I will of course lose java_vm, and both my java process's and I don't want that. I did notice if i kill the correct java it closes frostwire and all the associated files but the other 2 do not do this it will leave java process running. How can I in a script determine maybe the PID number and close by that or do any of you know any other programs that would make this easier?
Thank you for any tips
