Get the process ID from Activity Monitor. Then run:
kill -sighup processID
E.g. if LC has PID 9382:
kill -sighup 9382
Thanks for this. I just looked it up and apparently this command just
attempts to reset the app without killing it entirely. I'm certainly
going to try it the next time the IDE gets into one of its loops while
debugging.
Larry: I was assuming your hangs happen during run time, which I almost
never see. But I do see them occasionally while stepping through the
debugger, and it's most ofen caused by the background IDE scripts
getting into a loop. If this terminal command can break out of those
situations then it's a very welcome thing to know.
It's my understanding that eventually RR would like to disassociate the
IDE scripts from our own so that these loops won't affect our work.
That's probably a ways off, but it will be good when it happens.
