hey all -

check out Quitling 2.0 . it's a great app - two in one i might add. i have been using it since 1.0, when it was just a dockling. it has evolved into a Prefs Pane with a menubar icon. it is like ASM in that it puts an app swicher ala OS 9 at the top right of your screen, and i have had no problems with Quitling. the menu also (optionally) shows and lets you quit background processes.

there are also five definded keyboard shortcuts you can use. you can only choose four of them (based on using shift, control, shift-control, and normal clicks). the actions are: quit, force quit, relaunch, bring to front, and toggle visable. it's $10 and very worth it.

not a paid advert, just rather satisfied with the app.

[Editor's note: Quitling's other features are "AutoKill", which prevents any defined application (like Classic) from opening, and "AutoStart", which forces processes that have quit (perhaps the Apache webserver) to restart, thereby keeping them available at all times.]
