Freebayes command stopped due to lack of space

Hi, the server I am working with was out of space; I already cleaned it and it has enough space now. Before that, I was using freebayes programme for SNP calling, but as this space thing happened, it seems that the SNP calling is stopped now, cause when I use ls -lht nameofthefile.vcf the date and the hour consists on a week ago, but when I use htop, apparently it is still working. Does anyone know how to restart that command? Thank you in advance

Find its PID number and use the kill command.

(in htop you can use F9 for this)

Thank you for your answer, but in that way, I will definitely kill the process but it wouldn't finish. I would like to restart not from zero but from the moment it stops. Is there any possible way?

I'm not familiar with FreeBayes itself, but it is quite rare that programs support 'resuming'. If you had suspended the program with Ctrl-Z, you could use fg to resume it, but if the process has been disowned I don't believe there is any way to retrieve it. You'll just have to kill it and start over (unless someone knows better than me).
