That's easy. Just sort < /dev/random and the OOM-killer will do the rest.
I'll have to check it out, but my strategy is usually to run top in a terminal and kill -9 the one(s) abusing the CPU. Sometimes I skip the -9. (However, the system is not totally unresponsive in my scenario)
Michael Ireland same here, but with HTOP or ATOP.
Christopher Gaul iotop as well, but less often.
