check it out and share it with your friends =)

alt + f2
run


gnome-terminal


then become super user to install the script system wide


(for firefox)



sudo su




cat > /usr/bin/killfirefox << "EOF"
ps -e | grep firefox | sed 's/\(.[0-9]*\).*/\1/' | xargs kill -n 9
firefox &
EOF
chmod 555 /usr/bin/killfirefox
exit


and then hit enter to exit root mode.

(for sea monkey)



sudo su




cat > /usr/bin/killseamonkey << "EOF"
ps -e | grep seamonkey | sed 's/\(.[0-9]*\).*/\1/' | xargs kill -n 9
seamonkey &
EOF
chmod 555 /usr/bin/killseamonkey
exit


and then hit enter to exit the sea monkey installing script

to use these scripts when firefox / seamonkey is frozen simply

alt + f2

run



killfirefox


or



killseamonkey


and a new instance of firefox or seamonkey will load

i find mplayer crashing heavily on my system from electric sheep, so im gonna install a mplayer kill command similar to these....



sudo su




cat > /usr/bin/killmplayer << "EOF"
ps -e | grep mplayer | sed 's/\(.[0-9]*\).*/\1/' | xargs kill -n 9
EOF
chmod 555 /usr/bin/killmplayer
exit


command now to kill mplayer



killmplayer


as you can see just replace the grep name and it will kill whatever process. change the /usr/bin name to what ever the executable file name will be, and change permissions on the new file to make it so it can run. to find process names to plug into this command run "ps aux"
