Abstract
Aspects utilize computer processors to restart a hung process. The processors are configured to, in response to determining that a child process that is executing within an operating system is in a hung state, pause a parent process that is executing within the operating system, wherein a data operation of the parent process is dependent upon a data output of the child process, determine a cause of the hung state of the child process, ready the parent process to restart as a function of the determined cause of the hung state of the child process, and in response to determining that the parent process is ready for restart, notify the operating system that the child process is ready for restart, restart the paused parent process and restart the child process.
