How do I kill frozen applications? How do I use the kill command? I've
read the man page, but I'm not sure how to tell what process is frozen
and how to kill it.



It's ``frozen'' when it doesn't respond or do what you think it should be doing.

Use kill [pid].  If the SIGTERM handler for the process isn't
playing nice, then kill -9 [pid].


also very useful are the commands killall and xkill


i.e.
killall mozilla-bin //this kills mozilla
killall java //any java program will be killed
xkill // this will give you a little mouse icon. Click on a window to kill something.
