Short: Small, efficient task manager
Type: os20/util
Uploader: baynemd@nextwork.rose-hulman.edu
TaskE is a task manager. It provides you with information on tasks
that are running on your Amiga. It also allows you to 'clean up' after
failed tasks by closing their windows and screens. Thirdly you can
attempt to remove tasks by sending them CTRL-C signals, and simply by
disabling them.
Since the AmigaDOS/Exec combination does not provide resource tracking
and task management, we can only approximate such things with a program
like TaskE. You can remove a task with TaskE which will unload its code
from memory and you can close any screen and window resources the task
had open, but you cannot 'truly' kill a task with Exec, so any other
resources the task had open will still remain in 'limbo' until the
machine is rebooted.
I developed TaskE because the other task management programs I had seen
available were not developed solely under 2.04 and with it's new look
and feel. Also, they provided a lot of information that I really didn't
find useful. TaskE is meant to be simple and functional. I hope you find
use for it in your development environment.
Additionally, full source is included so that others might learn from it
and modify it to suit any specific needs they might have.
