Force program shutdown
Hi,
I run on Mandrake 9.2 and sometimes a program crashes that badly that it does not respond anymore. When I try to close it, it won't. The window stays open, not responding to anything. Is there a way to force the program to shutdown (like you do END PROCESS in Win2000 Task Manager) ? I don't like a Menu with inactive items. Thanks in advance, a :newbie: |
Kill it. Xkill is a nice way to do it. Run 'xkill'. Your cursor will turn into crosshairs. Take aim & shoot down that misbehaving program. Also you can kill using the KDE process manager, 'kpm'. You can also view and kill with the text-based process manager 'top'. You can kill using the 'kill' command: 'kill [proceess id]' or 'killall [process name]'. Run commands/programs at a command line or at the 'Run Command' dialog.

thanks, tried XKill, but instead of killing the program, it killed my complete menu ... but I now found it how it works. Thanks for the help.

U could press cntrl+escape, that opens a window similar to one u see when u hit alt+cntrl+del in windoze :D
Select the program u wish to kill and there u have it :D |
If u wish to kill X at any time, press Alt+Backspace
