Kill a handler

[Kevin Miller]

There is an alternative to command-. on Mac which will often, though not
always rescue you when you¹re deep in handler stack you can¹t break out of.

Get the process ID from Activity Monitor. Then run:

kill -sighup processID


E.g. if LC has PID 9382:

kill -sighup 9382


Kind regards,

Kevin
