Automatically terminating application

Hi,

I currently am working on a little application that will capture the whole screen (fullscreen OpenGL App). Normally this would be no problem at all, but somehow I must have done something wrong, the application seems to get confused or I don't know what. The system itself still is running, but somehow the application is ignoring ANY input, but since it covers up the whole screen and ignores the input, I have no means of terminating the application. I can't switch to Activity Monitor or back to xcode or anything...
Now one method would be to use an external display and kill it, but unfortunately that's not an option to me, since I do not have a 2nd display at hand.
So I though there might be something built into xcode (or something in the xcode-package) like a timer to terminate an application. For example before starting my application in debug mode I would set the timer to say 10 seconds, and after 10 seconds the application will be killed automagically, regardless of what it is doing. Would help me a lot, since I wouldn't have to force-kill the whole system (forced shutdown...). Any ideas?


Any other suggestions will be welcome, too, of course :)

Best Regards,
Daniel Ketel
