How to resume a "paused" application after an out of memory situation?
Not in front of my mac right now, but basic steps would be:
- Open the Terminal application: just type
Terminal
into Spotlight - List the running processes :
ps -ax
- Find the process you want to unpause. You need its PID *Process Id
- To unpause, strangely enough you use the "Kill" command on the process with the CONT flag:
kill -CONT [app_pid]
dont forget the -CONT as otherwise you will kill it instead of unpausing. In your example that'd bekill -Cont 69971
You can get the pid from the Activity Monitor if you have that column showing
