I want to be able to kill certain apps that hang, for instance Ebuddy XMS is closed with the swipe down, but sometimes stills draining my battery in a few hours because of a bug and remains running in the background.

I want to be able to kill apps still running in the background.

Is there some sort of app/task killer?

use terminal? maybe? kill -9?

What bother to install htop when top will do?

Why bother with top, when you can grep the ps -ef output?

The OP seems to have already concluded that his ebuddy XMS program is failing to close all the way. If that's true then why not type something like:

ps -ef | grep -i ebud

Then just kill -9 the resulting pid. No extra software installation required.
