Prism 6.0 Reference Manual

interrupt

In MP Prism, interrupts execution on processes.

SYNTAX

interrupt [pset set_name | set_definition]

DESCRIPTION

The interrupt command is available only in MP Prism.

Use the interrupt command to interrupt execution on processes. Without a pset qualifier, interrupt interrupts execution on the processes in the current pset. With a pset qualifier, interrupt interrupts execution on the processes in the set you specify.

The interrupted processes become members of the predefined pset interrupted.

This command can take a pset qualifier. If used with a qualifier, it applies to the pset you specify. If used without a qualifier, it applies to the current pset. See " Using Pset Qualifiers" for more information on pset qualifiers.

EXAMPLES

This command interrupts the execution of the members of the predefined pset running:

interrupt pset running

This command interrupts the execution of process 5:

interrupt pset 5
