{ Tasks Help - Signaling Tasks }
{ XPVM supports the PVM console "sig" command for sending Unix }
{ signals to PVM tasks.  This function is accessed by selecting }
{ the "SIGNAL" button on the "Tasks" menu, which pops up the }
{ signal dialog box. }
{}
{ To signal a task, first select the desired Unix signal from the }
{ scrolling signals menu on the right side of the dialog box, then }
{ choose the desired destination task(s) for the signal.  A single }
{ task is signaled by clicking on one of the tasks in the scrolling }
{ task list on the left side of the dialog.  Or, all of the currently }
{ executing tasks can be signaled using the "Signal All" button. }
{ In either case, the signal(s) are sent as soon as the mouse click }
{ occurs. }
{}
{ Because XPVM avoids the overhead of continuously polling PVM }
{ tasks while the signal dialog is up, the tasks listed may not }
{ completely accurately reflect the existence of all currently }
{ executing tasks.  To update the task list, press the "Refresh }
{ Tasks" button. }
