TuneTracker QuickTip: ""
In Haiku® and ZETA, everything is very modular, meaning it's possible to completely turn off parts of the operating system and expect the rest of it to function just fine; a capability that's more than welcome in a broadcasting environment, where rebooting is something you'd rather avoid.
Two killable/restartable parts of the operating system are the Deskbar (the Haiku® equvalent of Windows "Taskbar") and Tracker (the windowing environment that you might know by name, "Explorer" under Microsoft Windows).
When It Needs Doing:
If you notice that Tracker windows that display folder contents are becoming unresponsive (Tracker)
If you double-click on a program but it refuses to open (Tracker)
If you attempt to do a Find and the window doesn't appear or doesn't respond (Tracker)
If you are unable to close more than one window (Tracker)
If you notice the Deskbar is unresponsive to mouse activity (Deskbar)
What To Do:
Hold down CTRL-ALT-DEL until the Team Monitor appears
Select Tracker or Deskbar from the list of running tasks
Click the "Kill" button (the Team Monitor window disappears)
Hold down CTRL-ALT-DEL until Team Monitor appears again
Wait a few seconds until the "Restart Desktop" button appears, and click it.
Barring very unusual circumstances, killing Tracker or Deskbar will NOT stop or close any running programs such as TuneTracker or SoundPlay, so should not be noticable to listeners.
