[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44485] GUI: File | Exit from main menu doesn't work when Octave is busy

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #44485 (project octave):

Rather than a backtrace, the output would be "octave exited with value 6",
meaning the program didn't exit in the conventional manner.  Guess I will aim
for this behavior.

One can see the list of signals by typing "SIG" at the octave command line and
can probably guess what many of the signals mean.  ABRT (6) means to abort the
program.  INT (2) means interrupt.  There are even real archaic signals like
HUP (1) which I think means "hang up"--computer comm links long ago were made
by dialing into the system then placing the telephone receiver into a holder
that would modulate tones to send data (at a really low baud rate).  To
disconnect, hang up the telephone.
