Usually I'm asking myself this question when it's too late already and my XServer or xfce hung itself and I have to rely on tty1-tty6 to actually do something.

Is there any way to access my Tasks at tty7 from tty1-6? For example: An application is wasting all the resources and I can't do anything useful on my desktop. Yet I have access to tty1-6. What could I do?

Thank you

What do you mean by access? You can kill processes on other TTYs.

If something locks X (on TTY7) I usually just log in on TTY1, run htop and kill whatever process is running rampage, before going back to TTY7.
