Stopping a command during the cycle
Hi,

Two things really:
1) can you input a code to pause a program until a key is pressed?
2) can you stop a command during a cycle?

1) What language?
2) I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. What command? What cycle?

1) Secure CRT is not a language, it's just the program you connect with. What language are you programming in?
2) Hit ctrl-c to send the program a SIGINT, which will kill it.

1) No, it is not SSH. Again, that's the program you're connecting with, it has nothing to do with what language you use once connected. If you don't even know what language you're using I can't help you.
2) See 'man ping'.
