--- Comment #39 from Till Schäfer <till2.schaefer at uni-dortmund.de> ---
still valid on 5.9.2 with frameworks 5.51.0 and qt 5.11.2

in the meanwhile for everybody frustrated to type killall kontact every few
hours: here is a script to detect and kill hanging kmail instances. I have just
added it to my kontact.desktop file, such that kontact just starts and does not
wait for the hanging instance. 


#!/bin/bash

pid=$(pidof kontact)

if [[ $pid != "" ]]; then 
        echo "Running KMail instance found: $pid"
        windowsofpid=$(xdotool search --pid $pid)
        if [[ $windowsofpid == "" ]]; then
                echo "Hanging KMail instance found. Killing..."
                kdialog --passivepopup "Hanging KMail instance found: $pid.
Killing ..." 5 --title "Kill Hanging Kontact Script"
                kill $pid
        fi
fi
