Sending a signal

The Target Navigator view lets you send signals to the processes on your target. For example, you can terminate a process by sending it a SIGTERM signal.
To send a signal to a process:
  1. In the Target Navigator view, right-click a process and select Deliver Signal.

    Target Navigator view; Deliver Signal dialog

  2. Select a signal from the dropdown menu.
  3. Click OK. The IDE delivers the signal to your selected process.
CAUTION:
Delivering a signal to a process usually causes that process to terminate.
