10.4 Disabling Asynchronous Event Handling

To disable asynchronous event handling, the ASTOP command is used. In the following example, we will disable asynchronous event handling for the INTERRUPT event class:

  ASTOP "INTERRUPT"

Omitting the "INTERRUPT" argument will disable asynchronous event handling for all event classes. See ASTOP in the commands section for more details.

You may also disable asynchronous event handling for a specific event identifier by KILLing the appropriate node in the ^$JOB SSV, which unregisters the event handler altogether. The following example will unregister the event handler for the SIGWINCH event identifier:

  KILL ^$JOB($JOB,"EVENT","INTERRUPT","SIGWINCH")
