EscapePod
Authored by: aranor on Nov 20, '02 06:22:38PM

I forget how I got it (probably by asking Andrew Welch for it), and it's still marked as in beta (dunno if they're ever going to publicly release it), but AmbrosiaSW has a little utility called EscapePod. This utility is simply for force-quitting and such when no other option is available. Option-Control-Delete force-quits the current program in the worst way (I believe the equivalent of kill -9), and, IIRC, control-option-shift-escape will force-logout. This utility has let me force quit a few programs I couldn't otherwise, as well as determine when the computer is actually totally frozen or whether the application can be exited from.
