Force quit stuck applications from the dock
Authored by: nburatovich on Jun 09, '03 06:18:03PM
I've noticed similar behavior (using "Force Quit" from a Dock menu doesn't work all the time). Using bringing up the force quit floating (Command - Option - Escape) and quitting from the offending process from there usually quits the app on the first try. In rare circumstances I have to open the terminal and use kill [pid].

Lately, I have been using Escape Pod and it seems to be the quickest, most surefire way to quit the frontmost app every time. If the "frozen" application is not the front most, I select it by Command-Tabbing through the dock and then invoke Escape Pod. Give it a try if you are having further problems.
