Diagnose and recover from a coreservicesd hang
Interesting...I've never had quite this problem, but I've occasionally had coreserviced crash (screwing up icon display and preventing drag-and-drop, as described above). I've tried to restart coreserviced from the command line with sudo, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem, and I'm forced to reboot to get things working normally again. Anyone know a way to restart coreserviced without having to reboot?

Kill does not 'restart' processes, it sends a signal to them, and if they catch the signal they can restart themselves. If they don't catch it (or ignore it), they die. If they have been started by a watchdog type process like init, they may be restarted if they have been configured to restart.

In case anyone's interested, I may have figured out the answer to my own question. OS X starts coreservicesd with the arguments
-preload AEServer. You can confirm this by doing ps -axww | grep "coreservicesd" | grep -v grep in the Terminal while coresericesd is running. The AppServices StartupItem actually starts the coreserviced process (see: /System/Library/StartupItems/AppServices/AppServices). So, if coreservicesd crashes on you, you may be able to start it again without rebooting by doing:
...though I haven't tested this yet.

Another (maybe cleaner) way to start coreservicesd back up is: |
