Mac OSX equivaent to Cnt+Alt+Delete

[EV0LUTION]

Is there a way to pull up the processes, applications in use, ect in mac OSX?

sort of like window's task manager??

You use Activity Monitor for that. For a command to force quit nonresponsive apps try cmd+opt+esc.

You can also use terminal + top.

Cmd+opt+esc

 

[pinktank]

what do you mean by terminal+top ?

Force Quit (Cmd+Opt+Esc) is the direct equivalent, though it's functionally slightly different.

Terminal+top refers to opening a Terminal session, entering the command top to see a listing of the currently running processes, then using a killall or kill command to end the one you're trying to quit. I wouldn't attempt that one unless you're used to using the Terminal, which if you have to ask you probably aren't.

Yup, and I was actually off on tops functionality in OS X, I thought it was the same as Linux's, where you can kill the app right from Top... just realized you can't.

Since that's the case, I would opt for ps ax and killall. And only in very rare occasions.
