The tutor brings up a couple of “emergency procedures” for stopping a program.<\/h1>\n

I don’t write many big programs; rather, I’ll often write a page or so of code (with lots of white space) to test a utility from a given language (lately it’s been Java). Such a program is usually run from the command line.<\/p>\n

Some programs end up “hanging”; therefore, I like to know how to stop a program before I run it. If the program really gets out of hand (and assuming it’s running from the command line), there are two ways I know to stop it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The key combination Ctrl+C<\/li>\n
  2. From the Task Manager<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Task Manager is easily started by right-clicking the taskbar, then clicking Start Task Manager. There are several tabs to choose from; the Applications one will show the Command Prompt. If the program is running from there, just click it, then End Task at the bottom.<\/p>\n

    The two methods work equally well on my system:)<\/p>\n
