Great idea, will be helpful.
Now, I only need a similar tool that kills the process with the highest CPU and MEMORY load with a short cut. Reasons: Sometimes a process leaks memory and fills up 16GB RAM and opening a new process like taskmgr is impossible to severe paging-IO. Sometimes a full screen application crash and spawns a modal crash dialog behind the full screen window so only taskmgr and keyboard usage works (as the mouse is hidden by the crashed full screen app).

- arebours 11y agoWooow, thanks a lot! I'm going to test it now. Edit: Not working as expected :( Run python script that allocated a couple of gigabytes of RAM effectively causing my machine to freeze. And OOM killer figured out the best thing it can do is this: [2889118.406439] Out of memory: Kill process 11878 (SpotifyHelper) score 302 or sacrifice child [2889118.406442] Killed process 11878 (SpotifyHelper)
