D25

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

CPM / D20 / D25:             vp (pid | name) event

CCU / CCUME:                vp (pid | gpid | name) event

None

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).

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.

You must only use this command as a testing or debugging
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.
