Re: [W10]Re: Restarting a hanging Mac

[Dean Suhr <deansuhr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sophisticated Circuits has a multi-level approach for both USB and ADB that
includes soft restarts, three finger restarts, individual application
monitoring, and a hard power restart.  They connect via the USB or ADB and
also filter/intercept the 120V power.  This will catch the hangs during
restart and other software related problems.
