When an application crashes on Windows, it's normally pretty simple to Ctrl-Shift-Esc, bring up the Task Manager and kill off the offending process. Is there a similar thing for OSX? Whenever Safari, iTunes etc crashes and locks the machine up, I'd like to be able to kill off just that process. What's the equivalent thing on Mac?
I understand you can ctrl-alt-click the Dock icon to force quit, but when the Dock won't pop up, the only thing I can do is hard power off the machine.
Admittedly, it does crash infrequently, but having to hard power off just because of one application crashing is ridiculous.
Thanks in advance. There's probably a silly simple answer to this question but I can't find it!
