If you ran the program from a terminal window by typing wine (program).exe, you can usually just go back to that terminal window and press Ctrl+C. If you ran the application some other way, such as from a launcher shortcut, then you can open up a terminal and forcibly kill the process:
Code: Select all
killall -9 Application.exe


If you want to kill all Wine programs at once, you can run:

Code: Select all
wineserver -k

You can also open up a Wine version of the Windows task manager by running wine taskmgr in a terminal. This will allow you to kill individual Wine processes.
