SSH to your machine from another machine, or from your smart phone.

Issue this command:

kill -9 $(ps ax | grep -i online.app)


This is rather brute force. It greps for all process's with online.app in the string, and kill them forcefully. It will kill all instances of the client, not just the one that is hung. However it will have you from having to reboot. If you get a decent ssh app, you can set a default command to issue when you log in, and set it to that, so you basically just have a kill button.

Command+Option+Esc while in fullscreen mode will force-kill the fullscreen application (and this is graphical fullscreen, not windowed-app-in-OSX-fullscreen).

Also follow up any force-kill or terminal "kill" command with killing the associated wine server instance:

ps auxwww | grep wineserver

(find process id from output)

kill «pid»


It gets quite entertaining when you run four clients at a time and one of them freezes up, you have to associate the wine server to the EVE Online application based on the time it was launched, since the wineserver's parent pid is launchd. If anyone knows how to definitively figure out which wine server belongs to which active EVE application, I'd love to know :)
