The problem is, what i do with _buggy_ infinite loops when i test over the net (the "do stuff" hangs, not the main-loop)? there is no escape-key then. Think i want _really_ to use one of this nice rebol-cgi-servers, or, Yea, the wicki server (:-)), and my script has a bug. happily the server hangs. if i could say [after 5 seconds escape with 'server-restart], it would be much safer. running the server in a extern shell-loop, it could free itself nearly allways. having memory-limits, context-protection (Gabrieles?) too and a really crash-hard kernel would make this stuff really portable, but a simple "start: rebol server.r ^/ goto start" is so short that porting is acceptable :) Killing rebols, especially on windows, is another thing. for example, in my perl "kill" does not work, and external communication would be needed to say "ok, iam well, let me continue". Having a "escape-key" and controlled pre-buffering would make more threading nearly unneccessary, i think. (Maybe full threading looks cool, but, write Java with and without it.. And than look at Oberon (well, partly:). And think you write REBOL in minutes, not java-like system-design :) Hopefully iam missing something :) Note: the realtime JBed (mentioned in Dr Dobbs) preferres this approach.. Note2: the original message was "can't stop rebol, bad script".. > Cheers, > > Allen K Cheers back :) Volker
