Try

ProcessBrowser  open

option click to turn auto-update on.


Then browse the methods
BlockContext fork
BlockContext forkAt:

Let's setup an infinite loop and fork it off in the back ground.
Use inspect so we've an easy handle to the Process instance

[[true] whileTrue: []] forkAt: Processor userBackgroundPriority

do a self terminate on the inspected process to kill it.
or option-click and pick a command from the ProcessBrowser menu.

Also see the class Process and the fun things you can do

ie sending debug to an instance of Process.


Many years ago when I was working on a Smalltalk server application 
that handled Corba events I had a 'panic' method that would go out 
and hunt down all the corba related processes and issue a debug 
request against them all. Perfect for diagnostics.
