Source code and binaries for linux/windows/osx here: https://github.com/kmatheussen/KillJack BACKGROUND ---------- The Jack server sometimes crashes/freezes in ways which make users restart the computer in order to use Jack again. Users don't really have to restart the computer, but googling the problem and finding a solution could take more time than restarting. This is not very user friendly. The problem exists on all platforms. It's not a bug in Jack per se, it's how the program reacts when a client misbehave in certain ways. ABOUT ----- This program kills Jack unconditionally. Executables for Linux, MacOS, and Windows are provided. I strongly recommend that all programs using Jack includes a program like this. A better solution would be if Jack ran a watchdog, but it currently doesn't. You are allowed to distribute this program any way you want.
