So does this just automatically force quit the foreground app without prompting? That would be useful.

Never mind, I need to finish my coffee before posting in the morning. I completely misread this hint.

yeah this is way cool, Win XP throws up that annoying same kinda message liek 50 times a day,and its even able to be turned off and even though i dont get it except once a week on my mac it was still a disruption in my work flow.

Hrm. I don't mind the dialog, I just wish I could get it to show up quicker. It usually takes like 5 seconds before it shows up.

I agree. I don't mind it telling me that the app unexpectedly quit, although what else could have happened, but it takes so dang long to show up, in some cases I've already relaunched the app and am getting ready to use it again by the time it pops up, which is highly annoying!

Actually, one can disable CrashReporter completely. In the Terminal (CLI), do:

1) cd /etc
2) sudo pico hostconfig
3) type your administrator password
4) Look for "CRASHREPORTER=-YES-" and replace with "CRASHREPORTER=-NO-"
5) Press CNTRL+X then "y" and finally RETURN
6) restart you Mac

PS -> it is an important system file. Only does this if you feel totally confident about doing it.

I did it just after I installer Panther, sometime ago. I didn't notice any side affects. I have just thought about it today, when I read the above hint. ;)

Is it possible to keep the unexpectedly quit message but get rid of the bug submission dialog (same as Jaguar)?

I am running 10.3.5 and that preference file is nowhere to be found and there is no crash reporter line in my hostconfig file. I have a crashsubmitter.plist but it does not have the value described.
