# The process VDCAssistant is called whenever | |
# any application attempts to use the camera. | |
# In some cases, when the application that was | |
# using the camera fails to terminate properly, | |
# this process is still running in background | |
# preventing other services from access the camera. | |
# A fix for this is to terminate the process using | |
# the activity monitor. Or just use the following script. | |
# NOTE: The script needs to be excecuted as root. | |
# This kills the process that has blocked the camers | |
# from being used by any application | |
killall VDCAssistant | |
# Now we also kill other process that Apple uses to manage | |
# camera | |
