Yes, its called "GOMF" or "Get Outta My Face".  I believe early versions of
this were PD or shareware and exist on the Fish collection.  It exists now
as a commercial product.

There was GOMF (stood for Get Outa My Face).  Version 1.0
was public domain.  I install Version 2.0 every time I boot up.
It allows me to sometimes avoid visits to the guru.  There
was a Version 3.0 that came with a hardware switch that avoided
more visits somehow, I think (though I don't remember how).
I don't know if GOMF is still distributed or sold or if V. 1.0
is still available.  I think probably it is.

There's also a system monitor and control program called Xoper which
includes the ability to trap exceptions and let you kill the offending
task.  It's on the Fish disks among other things; the latest version I've
seen is 2.2.

I use 3.0 all the time. Saved me several times, I don't have the button tho.
(What's the stuff ya need to do to install the button?)
(I just got a Adram540 board and i wonder which chip the button goes to)

I can still crash the My 500 in ways Gomf Can't catch. 
(Well the Programs i Run crash my 500)

All in all the program ain't too bad, i don't know if it works on a 3000
or 2.0, It does fix all the 68010 "move<sr>" bugs. 
That's the main reason i use it.

Anyone got a Button For sale? Not that i really need it, It'd just be neat.

Oh yea, Gomf and Rad Disks sometimes don't like each other.
(I think it was GOMF that was messing up my Rad:)

Before I get flamed on this, let me make myself clear.  I should have said
"... to prevent all types of crash."
 
I think I also misspelled Perry Kivowits' name (I wrote "Kivowitz").  Sorry,
Perry.
