[SOLVED] auto-terminate unresponsive programs

Hi! i was just wondering if there's a way to do just that, in case im playing a game at fullscreen or even a program that not responds, auto-terminate them at specific time

And how to do a thing like ctrl+alt+del to bring taskmanager also (using xfce)

tnx!

Re: [SOLVED] auto-terminate unresponsive programs

kill program that does not respond:
- go to vt (crtl+alt+f1 to f6)
- login
- find+kill the process you want (with ps+kill, or top, or htop...)
or
- ctrl+alt+backspace to kill the whole x server

for taskmanager:
- settings
- keyboard
- shortcuts
- +
- command=xfce4-taskmanager
- shortcut: press ctrl+alt+suppr
- replace existing shortcut: yes
