Use this command to send a pSOS signal to one or several processes. Use it during development of application software.

Below is usage and syntax information for this command

Command Format	CPM / D20 / D25:		vp (pid name) event
	CCU / CCUME:		vp (pid gpid name) event
Variables	None
Parameters	pid	= pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send the
		signal to a specific process.
	gpid	= global pSOS process ID (in hexadecimal); send
		the signal to a specific process.
	name	= case-sensitive process name. The command
		supports the new naming convention.
		If you enter an entire name, the command sends
		the signal to a specific process.
		If you enter the first few characters, the
		command attempts pattern matching. It then
		sends the signal to all matching processes.
	event	= hexadecimal format word of the bits with which
		to signal the process(es).
Example	Type vp 308048 1000 and press ENTER.
	This signals the process with pSOS ID 308048 with the 13th
	bit (i.e., bit 12) zero-based.
	Results: Unless it encounters an error, the system displays the
		prompt. If it encounters an error, it displays an error
		message before it returns to the prompt.
Special	You must only use this command as a testing or debugging
Considerations	mechanism. If you send an indiscriminate signal to a process,
	you cannot predict the results.
	Note:	The safe way to restore a system to normal operation
		after using this command is to reboot.
