Possibly unfreeze a process with Activity Monitor
Authored by: slugtronn on Mar 17, '08 01:47:54PM

I've had luck very often with unhanging processes (including the Finder) by holding down the power button for 3 or 4 seconds. Not enough to force-shutdown the machine, but enough to show it who's boss. I don't think it's coincidence. It happened all the time with Tiger. I just installed Leopard, so I can't say if it still happens with 10.5
