    I have encountered processes that even Task Manager could not kill.

      All the damn time. I typically use Linux, so having a process I can’t even force kill is severely annoying.

        This has happened to me only once on Linux. I still tell stories about it.

        It was a CD burning program stuck in uninterruptible sleep! Trapped in a system call into the kernel that can never be interrupted by a signal, it was truly unkillable.

        It honestly was the thing that pushed me to Linux. Once I could no longer kill programs at-will I couldn’t handle it. xkill ftw.

        Yeah… It doesn’t happen often and when it does, it’s usually a driver and/or hw issue that is likely to leak memory and/or hold file descriptors but procs in D (uninterruptible_sleep) state do happen. It’s really obnoxious that murdering them with SIGKILL does nothing.

      But I also remember the times when there was no foe Task Manager could not kill.

      A while ago I kept a shortcut in the taskbar that ran a batch file that killed any unresponsive task, worked even on those tasks that Task Manager can’t seem to close. As long as explorer was still running and I could alt tab and press that button it worked 100% of the time

        How do you determine if a task is unresponsive?

    SIGTERM: stop that.

    SIGKILL: That was not a request.

    Case power button: listen here you little shit

      Sounds like it’s not just me that goes “ok then, try arguing with this” when power cycling an unresponsive computer.

      -9 in kill -9 stands for 9mm

      Doesn’t seem to work for me. If Rustdesk goes rogue, it refuses to die. I might need to practice some more command-line-fu though.

      One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen

      So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!

      ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input

      Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive

      I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened

      • Snowpix@lemmy.ca ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        New Vegas does the same thing, hiding Task Manager behind itself when it crashes. I found a workaround by using Ctrl+Alt+Del, clicking to make the cursor appear, and then pressing the Windows key which makes the taskbar appear. Then the game window can be closed from the taskbar.

      That’s why you enable the end task option for when you right click on the icon in the taskbar.

    Task manager: not responding

    $ sudo kill -9 1

    fuck you

    $ echo “c” > /proc/sysrq-trigger

      As someone who’s relatively new to Linux, anyone want to explain what this snippet would do?

      source
      • Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The kill command allows you to specify which type of kill signal you want to send. -9 sends signal 9 or SIGKILL, and we’re sending it to pid 1.

        That would force kill systemd, which I just have to assume will send your computer to a crashing halt.

        The echo command is writing “c” to a file at /proc/sysrq-trigger which I don’t really know how it works but this suggests you’ll “crash the system without first unmounting file systems or syncing disks attached to the system.”

        I haven’t installed fuck so I’m not sure how that works

    I think you mean top. Followed by a k and the enter key twice.

    • ADTJ@feddit.uk ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      TIL you can kill processes straight from top

      source
      • TheDarkQuark@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        You can, but I recommend btop. It’s much more cooler.

      • MouseKeyboard@ttrpg.network ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Only if the process is a bottom.

    I work as a helpdesk tech and I always say that I killed a task in task manager when writing up ticket notes.

    I’m surprised Microsoft hasn’t removed task manager yet.
