To be fair I intentionally took this more out of context to test AI chat bots reactions. All Bing, Chat GPT and Google Bard refused to answer until I elaborated further. I was looking into killing .exe programs when wineserver crashes and got side tracked to this. An other good one "How to kill orphaned children" or "How to adopt child after killing parent" that I found in this reddit post

Kill the exe process itself, killing wineserver doesn't help, that spawns just new children. Similiar to goblins.

I later figured that pkill -9 -f "\.exe" works if wineserver -k doesn't. And that killing wineserver by calling killall wineserver is bad
