- NAME
- Break - Send a signal to a background process.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Break <task> <all> <c> <d> <e> <f>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Many programs which run from the CLI will respond to the
- typing of one of the control characters C D E or F. By far
- the most common is control-C which usually causes a process
- to terminate. If you execute a task in the background (by
- using Run or ARun), you will not be able to send it a break
- signal from the keyboard, and that is where Break comes in.
- Once you know the task number of the process you wish to
- signal available immediately after you run the process or by
- using the Status program), you can send one of these control
- signals to the background process.
-
- EXAMPLE
- To send a control C to background process number 2:
- Break 2 C or Break 2 (Break defaults to control C)
-
- To send ALL control signals to background process number 3:
- Break 3 C D E F or Break 3 ALL
-
- CONSIDERATIONS
- Not all programs respond to break requests.
