Procular 1.0.1 is released!
Ever need to somehow exit a program fast, not caring how gracefully it needs to exit? In other words, kill a process in Windows without going to TaskManager? Ever need that program to do it with a predefined keystroke? This is what Procular does.
Sitting in the system tray, it listens for a keystroke. When that hotkey combination is sent, instantly a predefined exe that is running stops, disappearing from your screen.
I’ve needed this ability for various reasons, one of which is the fact that I test other developers’ code sometimes, and when doing it over and over again, I’ve hated having to continuously kill bad running code from the Task Manager.
I see other uses, however, and I’ll leave it to your imagination as to what other practical implications there are for this.
Current version of Procular is 1.0.1., and is Freeware. (Do what you want with it, but please leave the Readme.txt in the directory.)
