[gentoo-user] Can't kill /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/nsplugin

[Grant]

Multiple instances of /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/nsplugin keep
spawning even after I kill them. I suspect midori although I have the
libreoffice plugin disabled. Has anyone else seen this?  How can I
confirm my suspicions?

I always do 'ps -ef|grep name' but should that indicate whether midori
is to blame?

Check the parent process id (PPID) to see what's responsible for starting
nsplugin.

No, that will grep nsplugin only, that string is unlikely to appear in
the line of ps output of it's parent.

Rather pipe ps -ef into less and search for nsplugin. Less efficient but
a) you should care about that and b) you will get everything and none of
it chucked away by grep
