Hi Folks,

I don't seem to be able to get any kind of signaling to work on 5.8.8
build 820.

Has anyone else ran into a similar situation? If so did you find a work
around?

I have tried

Kill "INT", $pid;

The target process never makes it into the $SIG{INT} handler when this
is done. Manually entering CTRL-C works as expected and does get into
the signal handler.

On 5.6.1 we obtained a console handle and used:

$console->GenerateCtrlEvent();

This also does not work on 5.8.8.

The only information I can find in the porting document is that signals
now wait for the last opcode to complete before processing the signal. I
don't think that's the issue here as the signal is never received or
processed in the first place.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks - Rick
