virtuoso sending keyboard interrupt to ciw or -nograph modes

frankliu

Is there a way to send a keyboard interrupt (like C-c) to break from a currently running script?

For example on the command

sleep(100)

Is there a way to break the execution of this this in -nograph mode?

    Generally ctrl-C does interrupt a running script. Unfortunately sleep() or ipcSleep() is not interruptible though. That would need some modification to support that (it may not be that easy - it would probably have to break it into chunks to allow the keyboard to be checked during the sleep) - for this you'd need to contact customer support for an enhancement request (I couldn't find such a request).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
