[Pharo-users] Tip: Recovering a broken image

Hi list, I've just recovered a broken image that crashed upon startup. There was some problem with a SerialPort that stayed open and tried to write/read into a physical port that didn't exist no more, or something of the sort. So here's the magic line: $ bin/myVm shared/MyImage.image eval "SmalltalkImage backupTo: 'recover'" This makes a copy of the image into a new image called "recover.image", but as the documentation states: *Unlike #saveAs: do not transfer the default execution to the new image. * So there you go! Hope it helps someone else. :) -- Bernat Romagosa.
