[comp.sys.amiga] Killing a hung CLI

ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP (03/27/87)

	Sometimes when I am running an application in a CLI window,
the application will hang, making the CLI window useless.  Is there
a convenient way to open a second CLI and kill the first one from it?

You can always use PopCLI to get a new CLI. Also someone
posted sources to something called KillTask some time ago, this was 
supposed to track down a task and zap it, restoring program memory to
you. You'd have to take care of killing windows, screens and the like
yourself, and of course AllocMem()'ed memory would be forever lost.
Sounded nice, but a friend of mine with Manx was unable to get it
running. If anyone here has managed to get this utility working,
how about posting it to this group?
