EDIT: Process Hitman has been ported to linux by @ ShiralynDev on GitHub. Everyday I am shocked even more at how skillful this community is. I said 20 years in the video as a joke thing, because I've pretty much been using computers ever since I was born, but to clarify, as some people thought I was being serious. I've had the problem in the vid for around 14-15 years, rather than 20.

for those that are curious, the Linux version uses GTK as the GUI and X11 to get the active PID of the current window and then calls Posix C "kill" on it. (not the author, just wanted to know)

I used to use superf4, which achieved the same thing with ctrl+alt+f4, it was so effective that if there wasn't a program in the foreground, it would nuke the desktop and leave you with whatever programs you had open floating in a dark void. It was great.

@zyapguy 2 ай бұрын

Process Hitman also does that. I guess its something we both overlooked 😅. Super F4 is great, I tried using it for a while before deciding to make my own.

@@no_name4796 The taskkill command allows a user running on any version of Microsoft Windows starting with XP to "kill" a task from the Windows command line by PID (process ID) or image name. This command is similar to completing a program task in Windows. To complete the process by name, you need: taskkill /IM {PROCESS_NAME} /F /T To see all the processes: tasklist. And you need to open the command prompt as an administrator. In short, like yes.

This is cool. I remember using that low level keyboard event several years ago to write a keylogger (don't worry, I didn't distribute it, although the code is public). I sent the keylogger in when I applied for my first internship, and I got the internship - so that stupid little keylogger helped me get my first job. Thanks Win32 API

I've been using SuperF4 for a long time, it's just Ctrl + Alt + F4. It kills the process of the focused window

@zyapguy 2 ай бұрын

That was one of the solutions I've seen also! I really liked it, but the challenge of making my own was too good to ignore. Also Alt F5 feels more fluid to me. They both work the same way I think.

It has a big PLUS: your program wouldn't be 30+ Mb in size ;-) You could write it in C# and your program would be pretty small, but it would start CLR and waste more memory. You could still use C# and compile your program as a binary, but then it would have the whole freaking Garbage Collector with it! Still smaller that a qt application tho xD

look what they need to mimic a fraction of `pkill`

@zyapguy 2 ай бұрын

The main issue with pkill, taskkill etc. is the fact that you have to have your terminal open. If you're playing an old game for example, it might get stuck, and a terminal might not be accessible. But for any other thing, I guess taskkill and pkill are enough.

@nerdycatgamer 2 ай бұрын

@@zyapguy unless the program is specifically checking if the output device is a terminal (which is typically a smell. looking at you, modern `ls` implementations), then __no program__ ___needs___ a terminal open to do _anything_. you can easily just have a keybind set to spawn `pkill` for a target process (selecting that process is a bit more complicated, it can still be done without much effort), and if your windowing system/display server is frozen/failing/etc, you can jump to a different TTY and execute the command (in this case, I think it would just be a hard crash for windows because the windowing system is tightly coupled with the kernel). and none of this addresses the fact that you can just kill the process with task manager.
