user14680: My database became corrupted and I had to reindex:
bitcoind --daemon -reindex

It takes my computer quite some time and CPU power. It's been running for an hour but it will take at least 4 more hours to finish. With this high a load, I can't do my work on it, so I'd like to interrupt this process without losing the current progress, and continue later. Is that possible? 

user208: Yes. You can just stop bitcoind (using bitcoin-cli stop, or just killing it with SIGINT). Next time invoke it without -reindex, and it will continue from where it left off. If you do pass -reindex again, it will start over.
