you can also select force quit from the apple menu...

or kill the process from the terminal...

the tricky thing is when a process hang while you're shutting down the machine and you can't use the mouse or keyboard anymore...

After a hang, there is a FORCE QUIT item in the OSX dock icon menu. Clicking and holding will reveal the menu. It's been there for a while. Are you sure you didnn't just get lucky with the right menu item or does it work without selecting one of the items??

Hi all,

One of the other lists to which I subscribe had the following hint that you may find useful in OSX.

I'm just wondering if everyone else is aware of something I find very handy. When an app hangs, you can usually force quit by clicking and holding its icon in the dock... A menu will pop up offering "Force quit," and choosing it will do so without asking for confirmation or leaving behind a window you must dismiss. I find it much more convenient than cmd-opt-esc.

Also, the cmd-opt-esc may not apply to Rev; I've never tried either one. My thanks to Jay Reeve for his insight.

Cheers,

Joe Wilkins
