How to kill errant task and (optionally) regain resources?

[LoadWB]

I think I have seen a program a long time ago which did this.  On occasion, one of the Garshneblanker modules will hang or crash.  It does not happen often, but enough.  I need a program which will kill the errant task and possibly reclaim resources.

Ideas?

scout, artm... but if something crashes regularly i would look into this. either the application is faulty or something is wrong with your system. if it happens at random, then the later is more likely.

I'm pretty sure it's Garshneblanker.  I can run the computer for months without a single crash or reboot without it... but I like it.  The crashes are acceptable for my purposes.
