The documentation for interrupt() when called with no arguments does the
equivalent on worker processes of Ctrl + C on the local process. But in my
experience, Ctrl + C does not necessarily kill the Julia instance. In
contrast, it does seems like interrupt() kills worker processes.
Tested on both Julia v0.4.3 and on Julia v0.5
addprocs(3)
interrupt() # segfaults, death, cries of woe...
Perhaps the relevant error message is this one (forgive the garbling from
workers printing output in parallel...):
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
