G'day, I was wondering if there is a set of key strokes that allows the killing of stubborn programs at all. If so could a kindly person please let me know.
Cheers

In a terminal run
Find the PID to the application, press K and enter it's #.Code:top
I use System>Adiministration>System Monitor, which you can run and have in a window. Then under the Processes tab of System Monitor you will see the list of processes (programs) that are running. Highlight the one you want to stop and then press End Process.
Athlon 3500+, 1Gb ram, Geforce 6200TC, Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMG-9-RH
You also can right click in the top or bottom panel and select "add to panel", then scroll down and look for the "Force Quit" button, and add it to the panel.
Thankyou people, all three ways are useful. cheers
wojox: it was fun trying to line up the PID with its name, as the list kept changing. lols
htop is even better than top, have a play around with that too.
.Code:sudo apt-get install htop
Sealbhach, thanks also.
p.s. tried it, deff better as one can highlight a process and kill it, even if it moves in the list.
Cheers
