One of my process is at Interruptible sleep state. Note I ran the process from a different tty. That tty died and currently the process is orphan. 

ps ax | grep sync-d[b]                                                                                                                                                                     
31809 ?        S      0:00 sync-db upgrade

The sate S means Interruptible sleep (waiting for an event to complete). How can I send it an event to complete on the current tty?

I have already sent CONT signal. But it does’t seem to respond.

kill -CONT 31809

    This might work for you.. reptyr

    Make no mistake, the amount of hackery required to do this is fairly significant – so don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work.
