This touches on something else I have been thinking about. Would it be appropriate to have a SIGTERM (and/or similar signals) trigger a power fail in the PDP-11 and other simulators with corresponding mechanisms? SIGINT goes into the SCP console, and of course SIGKILL instantly switches off the simulated machine. The use case I have in mind is scripted start and stop of SIMH. Starting would capture the pid. Stopping could first send a SIGTERM, wait a few seconds, and then kill the process. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
