  here's a couple of recommendations:
  
>set uwmproc = `ps -acx | awk -f $FINDPROC`

  save yourself a file and use:

	set uwmproc = `ps -g | awk '$5 == "uwm" {print $1}'`

  also note that i used ps -g; you're not interested in someone else's
  uwm.  

  don't use kill -9 unless it's necessary (like a login shell).  give
  the program and operating system a chance to clean up.  for
  instance, gnuemacs will autosave any unwritten buffers if sent a
  SIGTERM signal (kill's default).
