How to close all windows of a given program at once

[TwoPuppies]

For closing all windows on all desktops you can use something like this:

Code: Select all

WIN_ID=$(wmctrl -l | awk '{print $1}')
for i in $WIN_ID; do
	wmctrl -ic $i
done

Excellent. Thank you.

One way to do this:

Code: Select all

WIN_ID=$(wmctrl -l | awk '{print $1}') 
for i in $WIN_ID; do 
[[ $(xprop -id $i WM_STATE) = *Iconic* ]] && wmctrl -ic $i
done
