Possibly unfreeze a process with Activity Monitor
Authored by: bobo23 on Feb 19, '08 08:43:41PM

I have had a similar "weird" benefit from Activity Monitor.

There are times when force quit just doesn't kill a beach-balled app. But a "quit process" through Activity Monitor always does the trick.

I wouldn't consider being able to kill a process by using Activity Monitor's option to do that, as weird--that's what the option is there for.

I have had such experiences when I was using Windows where I would fire up Task Manager to intimidate the hanging process. Never had the opportunity to do that on a Mac though ;)
