A good, classic process killer! ;)

Nice utility.  But, an odd name for it.  I would've called it TASKMAN.EXE or something.

BTW, I could've used that utility the other day. :-)  During development I had an unresponsive process I couldn't kill.

Nowadays TOP is perhaps a weapon of choice installed by default since eCS 2.x (and available as an informal update for eCS 1.x). An installed GO.EXE may be as old as dial-up internet, to download something and to disconnect A.S.A.P. by killing the dialer. Nevertheless GO.EXE is an existing name of an OS/2 utility.

Given as it's so old, probably nobody would mind renaming the 1995 GO.EXE to TASKMAN.EXE and allowing Martin Vieregg to use GO.EXE for his new app.  He could also call it UGO.EXE for Utility-GO. :-)  Or, go all out and call it YUGO.EXE. :-)

Martin Vieregg:
I also use GO.EXE. A really nice utility.

Is there really a conflict with the REXX "do" ? Because in Rexx scripts, you have to write normal commandline commands in quotation marks and DO is part of the language (not in quotation marks). I have got DO.EXE in the path statement for years and all Rexx scripts work fine.
