End Task for linux?

how do i End Task for a crashed application "i.e. Mozilla">?

You can get the pid from ps then use kill <pid> to kill it.

**caffeine** · 06-21-2003

Or you can

Code:

 $ killall mozilla-bin

**Dolda2000** · 06-22-2003

Or

Code:

kill -KILL `pidof mozilla-bin`

Anyway, if you'd like a more user-friendly solution, there is always the System Monitor for GNOME and the System Guard for KDE>

I think most allow you to use

Code:

CTRL+ALT+ESC

Isn't it: "Kill -f" or is "-KILL" even more persuative? (Don't rember seeing it in the list of switches to kill)

well in SuSE 8.0 and 8.2 Pro

when you are in an X server or maybe just KDE and you press CTRL+ALT+ESC

it brings up a skull and bones cursor

and when u click on an applactaion it dies

the aplication you speak of is "xkill" run it from command line and click the window as you say mdevilz.
I use 'ps aux' and kill the pid of whatever it is thats crashed normaly.

You can kill a program in a bounch of ways... both kill the PID and ctrl + alt + esc workes.
