Does anyone know if there's a way to send command-tab to a remote computer in Leopard's screen sharing app? I have a very crashed app in the foreground that takes up the entire screen and turns off the dock, so there's no way for me to free up the screen.

If you have Spaces enabled you could go to another space and force quit it, if not you might as well force reboot.
Signature depreciated.

That's a good idea. I think Spaces is turned on, but the screen sharing app doesn't seem to send those keystrokes. I'll definitely check that when I either get back to the machine and can force quit the crashed app from the console or if a remote solution comes up.

Rebooting seems like a workable idea - any way to force that if I don't have physical access to the machine, nor a screen I can use?
