Constraints

Prerequisite: already using OpenAI Dots with multiple Codex threads running. When the system kills the Codex app due to memory pressure, send a natural-language request to Dots to recover. No additional configuration or permissions needed.

What they did

User solanky was running several parallel Codex threads on Ubuntu when the system killed the Codex app due to memory pressure. After restarting, the user simply asked their OpenAI Dot to find and resume all interrupted threads.

How it went

It took some time, but eventually every thread was back running. (Author report, unverified)

Worth knowing

Recovery speed depends on thread count and system state; author noted it "took some time." Whether Dots can fully recover depends on its access to Codex session state; this scenario has not been tested by our team. If Codex was force-terminated without saved state, some work may be unrecoverable.

Steps

  1. Ask your Dot to find and resume interrupted threads

    After the Codex app crashes from system memory pressure and restarts, open the Dots conversation and ask in natural language for your Dot to find and resume all interrupted Codex threads. Wait for the Dot to execute; eventually all threads should be running again.

Prompt you can copy

Reference prompt · Editorial suggestion。Confirm the destination, input variables and output format before use.

This block is the prompt. Ads are never placed here.

No prompt needed — just follow the steps.

Simply describe your need to Dots, e.g. "Find and resume all my interrupted Codex threads."
