TaskControl - Version 1.0 © 1988, J. Martin Hippele
TaskControl is a nicely done task-handling program that allows you to put
to sleep, kill or change priorities of all the currently loaded tasks.
The program is potentially GURU-producing, so be careful what tasks you
kill, change priorities of, etc. TaskControl is fairly techie, so
therefore use it only if you really know what you`re doing.
TaskControl needs access to your boot disk when it first loads; don`t
worry if a requester pops up asking for Workbench, just do as the machine
says and everything should load okey-dokey. Once loaded, TaskControl
will display a list of all active tasks currently loaded. By clicking on
either of the two arrow gadgets, you can scroll up or down through this
list. Alternatively, if you click on a particular task, TaskControl will
automatically scroll up and highlight that task.
Functions offered by TaskControl are:
MAKE TASK
READY - Change task to ready State.
WAIT - Put task to sleep.
DEAD - Kill task (be very careful!).
FREEZE - Freezes a task in its tracks.
LIST
TO FRAME - Sends task list to the screen (default)
TO PRT - Sends task to list to your printer (if you have one!)
EXECUTE
DO IT! - Executes the selected function from the MAKE TASK menu.
CANCEL - Aborts execution of a function before it can start.
