How to invoke the Linux Terminal in LINUX when a process becomes unresponsive?

If a process becomes unresponsive in WINDOWS then we press "alt+ctrl+del" to invoke the task manager & then terminate the process.Is there any similar way to invoke the Linux Terminal so that we can end a process by the 'kill' command when it becomes unresponsive?Any help would be gladly accepted.

 

Are you talking about doing this within a desktop environment or from within a true terminal?

 

If your in a true terminal you can use Alt-F2 - F8 to switch to a new terminal, log in then kill the process. Otherwise, its going to depend on your desktop setup and what exactly is hanging.
