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
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.
