Under these particular conditions ctrl-alt-esc doesn't do anything. The hung Netscape window stays full-size visible and stays hung on the X-desktop. Other X processes behave normally around the hung Netscape, or as normally as they can with only 3% leftover CPU cycles. Neither does ctrl-alt-backspace completely kill the X-server --the X shutdown hangs evidently because the netscape process ignores the SIGTERM signal. Fortunately my eyes have been opened to the enhanced wonders of kill -9, so everything is better now... --Kevin On Wed, 19 Jul 2000 13:37:42 -0400, Paul W. Abrahams wrote:
Can you explain what's going on about killing the X connection without killing X itself? What I've observed is that when I kill Netscape with Ctl-Alt-Esc, all its windows vanish and there's no evidence that it's still around (though I didn't check the process list), and everything else happening under X continues normally.

i know this is solved, but another nifty tool i use is xkill. i like being able to clean up 20 hung netscape windows with one click.

Another helpful hotkey for all you KDE-people: CTRL+ALT+ESC will transform your mouse cursor into a little skull. Just click on the application you want to terminate :) Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany That should clear out your sinuses. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
But that just kills the connection to the X server... That doesn't kill the
process itself..
