variables declared in workspaces

Hi,
I added this code to a workspace:

oneMinBeeper := TaskScheduler new.
oneMinBeeper do: [Beeper beep] every: 1 minute.
oneMinBeeper start.

I then deleated the the workspace thinking that it would take the oneMinBeeper object with it. exactly one minute later I realized that's not how it works! How do I now access this object? How can I kill it.

Also some general info where objects live would be useful. I notice that if I open up another workspace and inspect oneMinBeeper, that it's referred to an undefined object but it must be defined somewhare as it's still beeping.

Cheers

Try inspecting "TaskScheduler allInstances".

If it actually forked a process then it is in the process list. Use
the Process Browser to see it.

Thank you Bert, it was a forked process. I killed it from the Process Browser.
