Eclipse hangs for various reasons. The problem because of that the workspace goes back in time and loose many things like errors, included files etc. I am using eclipse CDT. Is there anyway I could save the workspace from commandline before I do kill -9 $(pgrep eclipse)?

Edit: Is there a way to save eclipse when it functions normal? I know restarting eclipse will save but is there a better way?

    I figure when it hangs, it won't respond to saves either?

    Have you tried waiting for Eclipse? It can be very slow on some operations.

It doesn't appear to be possible to save the workspace when Eclipse hangs.

Saving the workspace when Eclipse is still responding (According to eclipse: explicitly saving project / workspace) is easiest accomplished by switching workspaces (To empty workspace an back, for example. File/Switch Workspace). In the same thread the plugin "saveui" is also referenced which can be configured to save the workspace often.
