There is one tool for application that have a visible window : ikill

There is also another tool, freeze, that has to be used with great care as it can lock up the whole system on a random basis when used (for example, if the task has acquired a semaphore locking some system structure and freezing it at the same time, this will lead to a lockup of the system. Sorry.)

With MorphOS, you're running almost fully naked on a bike at 300Km/h... You've been warned. :)

Grimm Reaper is indeed an OS4 thing, but on MorphOS if program has crashed (window title tells something like application is meditating or something, can't remember for sure), you can try to quit it once more from the close gadget and MorphOS asks if the program should be closed and its resources free'ed.

And more about the iKill program here: http://library.morph.zone/Shell_Commands/iKill

But if it has taken the whole system with it, you can't do much. And in any case if some program crashes, it's safer to reboot, because it may have trashed some other memory areas, which can cause nasty behaviour elsewhere sooner or later (you don't want to trash filesystem when writing into it, for example).

So, the simple rule: reboot if anything crashes in any case.

If the system hasn't crashed, you should be able to boot with ctrl-command-command keyboard combination, and with fn-alt-alt keyboard combination on laptops with an ADB keyboard.

Instead of killing programs after the crashes, you should pay more attention how the programs behave before the total crash/lockup. Look regularly the debug log if there are hits (hundreds of lines "cryptic" text). When you build and use your system, you should avoid programs making those. If you see some program hitting, and you don't absolutely need to use it, stop using the program and find a better working alternative for it. Or learn to avoid program's features which cause the hits. If program is not replaceable, like OWB, you should just check the log occasionally and reboot before it crashes totally if there are hits. OWB shouldn't do those all the time, but I'd disable the flash plugin if you're using it...

With E-UAE at least. The Amiga version needs Amiga's custom chips, so it doesn't work directly under MorphOS on other computers. I don't know if there are any SDL ports or similar nowadays...

Thanks everyone.

its not lemmings but its funny and has the same gameplay.

If your program crashes then its not written for Morphos maybe there is already a ppc port of it?
There has been a list of 68k programs that have been tested on ppc as far as I remember:

have fun

> If your program crashes then its not written for Morphos

It's not like MorphOS-native programs can't crash :-)

it is allways the problem when you edit your text after you are done with it ...

If your program crashes then its maybe because it is not written for Morphos,
there could be allready a ppc port of it.

... thats what i wanted to write
