send SIGCONT to resume processes paused by `proc freeze`. asks for confirmation unless `--yes`.
```bash
proc thaw node # resume all frozen node processes
proc thaw :3000 # resume frozen process on port 3000
proc thaw :3000,:8080,node # resume multiple targets
```
## options
| `--yes` | `-y` | skip confirmation |
| `--dry-run` | | show what would be resumed |
| `--in [<dir>]` | `-i` | filter by directory |
| `--by <name>` | `-b` | filter by process name |
| `--json` | `-j` | output as JSON |
| `--verbose` | `-v` | show extra details |
## examples
```bash
# resume all frozen node processes
proc thaw node
# resume frozen process on a specific port
proc thaw :3000
# preview before resuming
proc thaw node --dry-run
# resume without confirmation
proc thaw :3000 --yes
```
