Another option if you can&#8217;t open a terminal is to get on another machine and telnet into your BeOS machine. You can then kill the offending app remotely. It&#8217;s a good idea to have a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bebits.com\/app\/313\">ProcessController<\/a> on your system to handle process and app management graphically. To be certain Tmanager and\/or Terminal will be launchable on an unstable system, just have them launch automatically upon boot by launching them from your UserBootScript. That way they&#8217;ll already be open and ready to handle contingencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If apps hang and either won&#8217;t go away or are interrupting other apps, open up Terminal, and type ps This will display a list of all running processes.
