I have no opinion about a more general option. The reason why I proposed to ask a confirmation for process buffers is because I personally have a problem with the *Async Shell Command* buffer. I sometimes kill it accidentally while it still runs a process because usually there is no output and it is difficult to see whether its process is finished or not. There is only a short unhighlighted string ":run" in the mode line that is hard to notice. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
