<a href="../W/wedged.html"><i class="glossterm">wedged</i></a>, but more common at Unix/C sites. Not
generally used of people. Syn. with <a href="../L/locked-up.html"><i class="glossterm">locked up</i></a>,
<a href="../W/wedged.html"><i class="glossterm">wedged</i></a>; compare <a href="hosed.html"><i class="glossterm">hosed</i></a>. See
also <a href="hang.html"><i class="glossterm">hang</i></a>. A hung state is distinguished from
<a href="../C/crash.html"><i class="glossterm">crash</i></a>ed or <a href="../D/down.html"><i class="glossterm">down</i></a>, where the
program or system is also unusable but because it is not running rather
than because it is waiting for something. However, the recovery from both
situations is often the same. It is also distinguished from the similar
but more drastic state <a href="../W/wedged.html"><i class="glossterm">wedged</i></a> &#8212; hung software can
be woken up with easy things like interrupt keys, but wedged will need a
kill -9 or even reboot.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="huff.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="hungry-puppy.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">huff </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> hungry puppy</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
