AmigaOS is a very stable platform, however there are third-party software applications that aren't as stable and can potentially bring your computer to its knees.

The Grim Reaper will appear if this happens and will try its best to lock down the misbehaving application, preventing it from crashing the whole system. Chooseing the option 'Kill' will suspend the troublesome application.

There are other options as well such as creating a Crash Log - which can be useful for developers to try and identify the problem.

Previously known as 'Guru Meditation' on 'Classic' Amiga systems.
