Remote Kill is a software tool that allows you to terminate a process or program on your computer from a remote location, eliminating the need to physically go to the affected computer.
If you're someone who has had the misfortune of experiencing a malfunctioning Finder program on MacOS X multiple times, you'll find my software review of "Remote Kill" relevant. The Finder is an essential program on the Mac that can create some serious disruption if it decides to fail on you. In such situations, the usual recourse would be to reboot the system. However, if you know how to execute UNIX commands, you could avoid the hassle of restarting the system and ssh into the system to ps and kill the Finder to restart it.
I found this process to be highly useful, which spurred me to develop the "Remote Kill" program. I realized that this program could be highly beneficial to those who encounter similar issues with their Finder program, and more who might need a simple solution to kill various processes on other computers without having to learn the complex UNIX commands.
The most significant advantage of the "Remote Kill" program is its highly user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI), unlike the complicated UNIX commands that might take some time to understand. The program relies on a simple wrapper for three commands that facilitate killing apps on another system. The communication between the computers is highly secure, and the program checks for new versions upon startup, all while never transmitting private data.
The key features of "Remote Kill" include customizable pathways, a simple public and private key management system, and a GUI that is highly hackable using Thinlet xml files. Overall, the "Remote Kill" program is an excellent solution for those wary of using UNIX commands to kill processes and those searching for a user-friendly way to manage the process remotely.
