hung
["hung up"] Equivalent to wedged, but more common at Unix/C sites. Not generally used of people. Synonym with locked upwedged; compare hosed. See also hang. A hung state is distinguished from crashed or down, 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.
[Jargon File]

 
hang
1. To wait for an event that will never occur. "The system is hanging because it can't read from the crashed drive". See wedgedhung.
2. To wait for some event to occur; to hang around until something happens. "The program displays a menu and then hangs until you type a character." Compare block.
3. To attach a peripheral device, especially in the construction "hang off": "We're going to hang another tape drive off the file server." Implies a device attached with cables, rather than something that is strictly inside the machine's chassis.
