Load control and intelligence in schedulers

[Jack Jansen]

About babysitting: If you send a signal to a process in unix,
it has it's runflag set (at least, it did in V6. I didn't use
the trick in V7 or anything else yet). So, if your program did
a lot of computing, you just ignore SIGINT, and put something
heavy with a 1cm**2 base (your girlfriend, standing on one
high-heeled shoe?) on the DEL key. Wow. Your program runs at least
twice as fast.....
