I confess to having a similar problem: netscape locking up, chewing
up all spare CPU cycles and refusing to redraw itself. So, I made
the following tiny scripts, both called 'n'. Golde runs SuSE 7.0 and
bobo runs Debian 2.2. Just substitute whatever your process names are.
tim@golde:/usr/X11R6/bin > cat /usr/local/bin/n
#!/bin/bash
killall -9 netscape
cd /usr/local/netscape
./netscape &
tim@golde:/usr/X11R6/bin > ssh bobo cat /usr/local/bin/n
#!/bin/bash
killall -9 netscape netscape-communicator communicator-smotif.real
netscape &
