Stopping a SKILL script

Is there a way to terminate a lengthy SKILL script without having to kill the Cadence process?

    Derek,

    Potentially that function could be enhanced to periodically call the check for ctrl-C to allow it to be interrupted (of course, it would need to clean up gracefully too) - if you want that, log a service request.

    We've just done this (for IC616 I think) for a few SKILL list processing functions where they could get stuck when processing circular lists, and it shouldn't impact performance if done properly.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
