Remote interrupt processing.

摘要

A local application (10) connected to a remote application (18) over a computer network (16,30) can interrupt processing of the remote application. To do so, a new communications link is opened (30), and an identifier of the remote process to be interrupted is passed to the remote node. The new communications link is then closed. A manager process (34) on the remote node raises the interrupt to the desired remote application, which returns acknowledgement of the interrupt over the original connection.
