Oops, found it in the manual:
The CPU is considered idle if a WAIT instruction is executed. This will
work for RSTS/E and RSX-11M+, but not for RT-11 or UNIX.
So, not unix, bummer.

I am using pdp11 for a v7 instance, and it seems to be taxing the cpu
a bit more than I'd like on my laptop (killing my battery life). I
have the following in my ini:
echo
echo After Disabling XQ is displayed type in boot
echo and at the : prompt type in hp(0,0)unix
echo
set cpu 11/70
set cpu 2M
set cpu idle
Shouldn't this cause the sim to idle when I'm not using it? It doesn't
appear to have that effect.
I'm on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6, with PDP-11 simulator V4.0-0 Beta
