Set Interrupt Handling
Tools Supported: FlexTest
Scope: All modes
Usage
SET INterrupt Handling [OFf | ON]
Description
Specifies how FlexTest interprets a Control-C interrupt.
The Set Interrupt Handling command controls the tool’s ability to place a
command in a suspended state.
By default, if you enter a Control-C during the execution of a command, FlexTest
aborts the command process and there is no way for you resume; if you desire to
complete the interrupted command, you must start it from the beginning.
Once you enable suspend-state interrupt handling, a Control-C no longer abruptly
aborts a command process. Rather, FlexTest places the command in a suspended
state so that you can check the status or make minor adjustments to the suspended
command and then either abort or resume the suspended command. The following
lists the commands that you can issue while a command is in suspend-state:
If you turn interrupt handling on, you can either abort the process using the
Abort Interrupted Process command or continue the process using the
Resume Interrupted Process command.
