Quickly relaunch an app with Quicksilver

That's it, Quicksilver is officially The Handiest Utility Ever. This great tip from Lifehacker explains how you can use Quicksilver to quickly relaunch an application that has - *ahem*- unexpectedly frozen. Simply call up Quicksilver, find the target application, tab over to the action pane, type "relaunch," hit return and blammo! The errant app gets a kick in the seat. Thanks, Quicksilver!

Relaunch 1.1

You have a ton of applications open, and Software Update starts bouncing in the Dock. You need to restart your Mac, but you're right in the middle of something! Wouldn't it be great if there was a small utility that would automatically take a snapshot of all your running applications and launch them when you log in?

Relaunch is just such an app. It lives in the menubar and quietly keeps track of what applications you have open. When your Mac reboots (for whatever reason) you can have Relaunch all the apps you had open and you can keep on truckin'. You can also initiate a relaunch without rebooting, in case you have a set of apps that you always launch together.

Relaunch costs $5, and there is a demo available.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
